Welcome!

to the Whitman Campus Greens website! We are a progressive club devoted to environmental preservation, education and awareness. Funded by the Associated Students of Whitman College, we work with the campus and the greater Walla Walla community to promote sustainability and appreciation of the environment. Campus Greens is the umbrella group for a lot of the environmental activities at Whitman and is a gathering place for green-minded student leaders and all those who wish to see the environment become a top priority both at Whitman and nationwide. Campus Greens coordinate a range of student led issue-focused campaigns. We also organize environment-related activities and events, such as speakers, teach-ins, art shows, and fun do-it-yourself workshops. Read on for more information, and don’t forget to check out the campaign website for Environmental Education for Kids.

Campaigns

Campus Greens was established in 2001 to serve as an umbrella organization for student environmental activities. Campus Greens and the interrelated campaigns are proud to have contributed to increasing the quality of campus environment and reducing our footprint on the planet. A food waste composting program, successful campus-wide forums on climate change, formulation of college response to this challenge, and 100% recycled paper used for all regular printing paper on campus are examples of the work by many dedicated and skillful campus environmental activists. Campaigns act as autonomous entities with individual leadership and work style. Campus Greens meet every two weeks on Mondays at 8pm at the Environmental Interest House. We meet to discuss club and campaign activities, and plan and coordinate upcoming events. The campaigns meet on separate times as needed.
