Student Projects
The Ecological Coalition (a.k.a. the "E-Coalition"), is a network for campus-based environmental, ecological, and sustainability-oriented groups.
There is a huge array of environmentally-minded organizations at UCSB. And although each one is very different in its size and scope, in one way or another, all of the clubs seek to make our campus, our community, and in turn our planet, a healthier and happier place to live.
The E-Coalition serves to coordinate the efforts of member groups, ease communication, provide updates on various campaigns, gather extra volunteers for projects or events, and generate publicity and recognition through the joining of forces.
