Environmental Action Coalition
The EAC is a student- run organization that seeks to engage, advise, act, and educate its members and the campus community about regional and global environmental issues. In action, the EAC conducts events revolving around conservation, food, water, energy, waste, policy, and environmental justice throughout the school year. The EAC holds a vision for the future which centers around the development of a sustainably-run Davidson College as well as the education and preparation of student leaders for environmentally-conscious lives after college. In recognition of the multifaceted nature of most environmental issues, the EAC frequently seeks to cosponsor events with other campus organizations, as well as engaging with administrative and governmental authorities on issues of environmental policy.

The Food Club
On a mission to bring local, sustainable food to Davidson College, the Food Club is passionate in its support of nearby farmers, in eating seasonally, and in cooking communally. In addition to hosting movies, panels, speakers, and cooking classes, the Food Club oversees the organic vegetable garden behind Commons and the Food Cart, which sells local, sustainable food on campus. Food Club's work with Dining Services has led to transitions in food suppliers and improved choices at both dining locations on campus.

Responsible Consumers Club
The Responsible Consumers Club looks to empower people to research and to understand the effects of their consumption choices.  Each semester we study the social, the economic, and the environmental impacts of a number of consumer products, and we present what we find to students and organizations on the Davidson College campus.

Environmental Justice Interns

How can we do a better job at Davidson of bridging the gap between social justice and sustainability?

The internship's goal is to utilize the student's experience as a campus leader in demonstrating connections between social justice and sustainability.
