Does the institution have an active student group focused on sustainability?:
A brief description of the student group:
The Ecology Center of the Siskiyous (ECOS) is a student organization that strives to expand environmental awareness and environmental responsibility. ECOS operates a productive and educational community garden, with garden plots available to members of the community. At the community garden, ECOS composts coffee grounds and food scraps from campus coffee shops and food services operations. ECOS operates a Bicycle Program which offers a bike sharing program, assists students with bicycle repairs, and “builds” bicycles for use by students on campus. ECOS sponsors educational events, such as Earth Day, which are open to the community. ECOS recycles batteries, electronics, and ink cartridges; and offers free reusable coffee mugs and canvas tote bags to students.
