Utah State University Environmental Coalition of Students

Welcome to the Environmental Coalition of Students of Utah State University. ECOS stands for Environment Coalition of Students. We are a USU club that promotes involvement, education, and awareness regarding local and national environmental issues. ECOS has no budget or office; we exist only in the hearts and minds of our volunteers who desire to make a difference. Because of this our club is really whatever its members want to make of it. We are huge supporters of recycling, sustainability, clean air, alternative transportation and buying local. If you are looking to make a difference in the world you will enter after you graduate, you've found the right place. Our philosophy is that students should not wait until after graduation to take action to influence our world -- we are its stakeholders, and we should start today.

ECOS meetings are held at 5:00 pm almost every Wednesday in the Atrium of the NR building. Everyone and their dog (or cat) is welcome to attend all meetings and events, so come participate and share suggestions or ideas anytime you like. (The NR is the wood covered building just north of the Merrill-Crazier Library and the Atrium is just the lounge you enter when coming in any of the doors.)

ECOS is affiliated with the national network of student activists, the Sierra Student Coalition. We harness the energy and unique ability of students to effect social and political change, and allow students to get experience in grassroots organizing and advocacy. We also offer opportunities for training and networking at the national level.
