Campus Sustainability Congress

Campus Sustainability Congress is a student group collecting ideas and resources from around campus to build the foundation for a new generation of environmental activism and sustainability at Eckerd College. By empowering fellow students to take leadership roles in making the changes they want to see, CSC hopes to build a stronger environmentally-focused community and actively work to make a lasting difference on the Eckerd campus and beyond.

The Community Vegetable Garden

The Community Vegetable Garden started in January of 2010 when a group of students submitted a proposal for a sustainable vegetable garden on campus. After a generous gift, and support from Eckerd's dining services, Bon Appetit, planning began. Currently Eckerd has fifteen raised beds which are used for growing a variety of vegetables, and other edible plants. Learn more here.

The Recycling Program

The Recycling Program at Eckerd College is student designed and run. A part time coordinator is paid by the Office of Service Learning. The Environmental Service Coordinator works with work-scholars and student volunteers to run the recycling program during the school year.
