Hello,
I am a current club member of the Student Environmental Action League (SEAL), I wanted to make a post to spread awareness about this club here at RIT!
The Student Environmental Action League is an environmentalist group at Rochester Institute of Technology. Through their efforts and partnerships with other organizations on campus, SEAL facilitates environmental education, awareness, and initiatives. We meet every Tuesday from 4-5PM in room 1500 in the SAU!
Current projects:
ADOPT-A-GREENSPACE:
Adopt-A-Greenspace is a project SEAL is currently working on that aims to allow for greater club and organization representation and involvement on campus by providing clubs with their own plot of land on campus to plant, decorate, and take care of. Clubs and organizations would be able to promote their club outside while also benefitting the RIT community by beautifying campus. With Adopt-A-Greenspace, clubs would be planting native species around campus instead of non-natives, creating benefits such as: reducing the amount of pesticide use on campus, increasing biodiversity, improving campus soil quality, and supporting pollinators.
As of now, SEAL is collaborating with RIT’s Sustainability department to figure out the logistics of the program, starting off with a SEAL club test run where we would be creating the first of these greenspaces, problem solving along the way. Once the greenspace is complete, it will be used as a template for future clubs to base their space off of. Join our discord server if you have more questions!
ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY:
Adopt-A-Highway is another project SEAL is currently working on that aims to give opportunities to students to clean the environment by hosting trash pick-ups in order to improve environmental quality and reduce local pollution. This event occurs every Sunday, from 10AM-1PM along E Henrietta Rd. The meeting spot may change from time to time. Meeting spots will be announced in the Discord server.
Note: This event will not be planned for this Sunday (Oct 11th) during fall break.
Feel welcome to come or at least stop by during a meeting! If you want to make a positive impact on campus, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
