Lee Lindley, senior earth science major, is a reluctant leader of the Environmental Club. Started a little less than two years ago, the club hasn\u2019t gained much traction in the way of student participation.<\/p>\n
Lindley was ecstatic to have my group join him. Usually it\u2019s just him.<\/p>\n
With my group of miscreants, we made an even four. We drew posters, discussed solar panels, and joked about being Planeteers (from the \u201890s show, \u201cCaptain Planet and the Planeteers\u201d).<\/p>\n
Making posters isn\u2019t exactly the purpose of the club; Lindley would prefer having a chance to get out and hike with the group, or go to places in Oregon that are in danger due to human encroachment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been a member since last Spring. It has always been pretty low attendance. Beth [Bello, political science major] was the leader previously, but work has made it so she can\u2019t be as active. I don\u2019t really have time for the group either, but it has to be done. We need to keep the group going so we can try and get funding for things like composting bins in every building.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lindley is hoping he can get more members soon through recruiting at campus events, but he needs help.<\/p>\n
\u201cA group has to stay active for two years to get funding, but with just me it doesn\u2019t really feel like a club. We need to get more young people into the group. I really need people to help with tabling during new student week and spirit week.\u201d<\/p>\n
Interested in joining? Meetings are in HSS 230 at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. Find them on Facebook at \u201cWOU Environmental Club.\u201d<\/p>\n
