Current Projects

The following is a list of our ongoing projects for 2018-2019. If you have any questions, comments, or interest in participating, feel free to contact the project leaders by email or in person during our weekly meetings.


Beyond Coal

Beyond Coal leads the fight for U of I to divest millions of dollars from fossil fuel companies. We believe our university should not profit off an industry that costs marginalized communities their health and ecosystems their functionality. In previous years, our efforts included rallies, referendums, art shows, negotiations with the administration, and more. For the coming year, we are launching our Fossil Free UIUC campaign, advocating to end the school’s sponsorship of Dynegy, and increasing pressure on the administration. Join Beyond Coal for a pivotal role in ensuring the university handles our money in a humane and eco-conscious manner. Let’s divest from fossil fuels today!

Urban Agriculture

Urban Agriculture is dedicated to promoting sustainable agriculture on and around campus. We solve agricultural problems in a way that benefits stakeholders economically, socially, and environmentally. In the past, our efforts have involved educating students about the benefits of sustainable agriculture and how small everyday activities can have a significant impact on reducing pollution. Urban Agriculture also hosts regular SECS plant sale and field trips to sustainable farms.
