Corvallis Clean
A speaker came to talk to us about a student led club who want to make a difference in Corvallis by fixing and cleaning the parks in the Corvallis area. This is a great way to meet new people while serving your community! The next park cleanup is Oct. 22 at Riverfront Park. Eco Challenge Eco challenge is a 2 week long event that helps us challenge ourselves to be more eco-friendly! Members of the club should have gotten an email with a link to sign up for our team. If not, make an account and search for our team OSU Environmental Sciences Club. If we work together to get enough points, we will have a pizza party during week 10! Make sure to post about how your challenges are coming along! CEOAS Composting This week we got an update on the composting we will beginning. Compost spots will be located in BURT 193, BURT 284, BURT 326, and WILK 208. During the first 10-15 minutes of every meeting we will split up into groups to empty and clean them. Global Issue Discussion Charles was our first GID this year, woohoo! He presented to us his research project at Hatfield Marine Research Center about the biodiversity concentration changes over different time periods since 1967 in the Yaquina Bay. If you missed out on this awesome discussion, we have a video on our Facebook page. Be sure to check it out!

CEOAS Composting
During the first 15 minutes of every meeting, club members will get into groups to collect compost bins in designated areas in the CEOAS buildings. We hope to have bins out by next week in the WILK kitchen, Admin building, Burt 193 lobby, Burt 284, Burt 326, and WILK 208. Global Issue Discussions GID’s for the fall term have been planned for Week 3 with Charles doing a talk about his summer research. Week 5 and 6 GID topics are to be determined, but keep your eye out for those! If you would like to do a GID, talk to an officer about setting one up! We also hope to start uploading these discussions online soon! Fall Outing A doodle poll was added to the website to choose a weekend to do a trip this term. A trip to the coast was the consensus of the meeting, but more details will be shared next week! Make a Difference Day Make a Difference Day, Saturday Oct. 28th, is a nationwide day whose purpose is to improve the lives of those around you! Events around the Corvallis area are to be determined. Eco Challenge Eco challenge is a nation wide multi-day event that challenges you to choose actions that reduce your impact on the planet or share awareness and stick with it for the duration of the challenge. Starting Wednesday Oct. 11, pick a challenge to help earn points for our club! Merch The club has lots of ideas for merch including shirts, hats, reusable bags, water bottles, stickers, buttons, car magnets etc. If you have any designs for the ENSC logo, let us know at a meeting! The prices for shirts were $13 last year and we are thinking of fundraising to help with costs. Another idea is to open merch up for anyone to buy so friends and family could all support the club! |
