Student activism

Peace Club members during their “Peace and the Environment Week”

Students are major players in sustainability programming.

From creating a 17-page Sustainability Proposal that is helping guide Gettysburg toward carbon neutrality to implementing dozens of projects as volunteers and paid interns, Gettysburg's students are leaders of the campus's environmental efforts.

Students manage the campus's Painted Turtle Farm and Campus Kitchens food recycling project.

Students created the R³ House, where residents are committed to reducing, reusing, and recycling. Sustainability representatives coordinate efforts in residence halls across the campus.

The Gettysburg Environmental Concerns Organization (GECO) has been active on campus for 20 years. Many other organizations are also involved, like the Peace Club, which organized "Peace and the Environment Week" in 2008 (above).

More than 60 members of the College community volunteered their labor during April 11's opening day festivities at the Painted Turtle Farm, located on the northwest corner of campus between the West Building and the Observatory.
