Short description: This is a student led environmental conservation initiative offered to all students throughout the WK community. Mindset - it all comes down to the way that we view our problems as a species on earth and methods we have to solve them. We tackle big questions like: "Why has it become so difficult to live a 100% sustainable lifestyle?" or "How can I become more eco-friendly on a day-to-day basis?" Together we can spread a passion in environmentalism and sense of purpose about the student body. After all, we are Gen Green.
