Climate & Environment Club

Hello Climate & Environment Enthusiasts!

Welcome to Fall Quarter 2024! This is the sixth year for the club. Among our past events, we've heard speakers on climate change, bees, water quality in agriculture, microplastics, glass recycling, electric vehicles, the Washington Conservation Corps, Washington Conservation Action, Poder Latinx, the Washington Department of Ecology, and Rotaract. We've hosted movie screenings as part of Earth Day, we took a field trip to the REACH museum in Richland, we hiked the William O. Douglas trail hill climb, we toured the Healing forest in Toppenish, and we collected unwanted school supplies for redistribution. Bring your ideas for this year!

Mission Statement: The Climate and Environment Club exists for study of the Earth's natural environments, human impact on sustainability and biodiversity, and for celebration of the Earth's beauty and abundance.
