Student Groups There are many student groups working to create a more sustainable Stanford and a more sustainable world. Among these: Students for a Sustainable Stanford, a coalition of students striving to ensure the sustainability of Stanford University. Projects are designed to reduce energy, water, and paper use, promote purchasing of organic and local foods and promote a culture of sustainability. To learn more go to http://sustainability.stanford.edu/ The Stanford Climate Crew is engaging the university in the fight against global warming and the reduction of its own carbon footprint. http://sustainability.stanford.edu/climatecrew/ The Stanford Community Farm is a Stanford faculty, staff, student, and alumni operated organic garden located on the Stanford campus. It exists to educate the Stanford community about organic gardening techniques and to provide an outlet for recreational gardening. Learn more at http://www.stanford.edu/group/scfarm/ The mission of the Roosevelt Institution Center on the Environment and Energy is to bring progressive environmental and energy-related ideas to all audiences, including those who work at all levels in American political institutions. The Center is composed of a team of dedicated students and citizens of the world, committed to seeing our ideas spread and put into action. http://rooseveltinstitution.org/stanford/environment Engineers for a Sustainable World strive to improve the quality of life in underserved communities, through building partnerships with those who share our vision, and by developing the necessary perspectives and skill sets. http://www.stanford.edu/group/esw/wiki/Main_Page The Environmentally Sustainable Business Club's goal is to inform students about the environmental concerns and opportunities that emerge in today's business world. Sustainable development and natural capital are important concepts for the business world, and through a recent initiative, the GSB has taken steps to become the leader in linking the environment to business strategy. http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/pmp/clubs/environmgmt.html The Stanford Environmental Law Society (the oldest organization of its nature in the U.S), and the Stanford Environmental Law Journal (ELJ) provide opportunities to participate in environmental issues and activities on campus and in the community; influence public policy, law, and jurisprudence, and promote environmental careers, practices, and scholarship. Both organizations complement the Stanford Environmental and National Resources Law and Public Policy Program. http://elj.stanford.edu/
