FGCU Environmental Club

Now that this course has come to an end, I feel that is important to become involved with organizations and clubs that are working towards creating a more sustainable living. As I was searching though the FGCU portal, I stumbled upon one club that correlates directly with educating and teaching people how to live more sustainably. Their club name is called the Backyard Farmers and their mission statement is as follows, “To educate about the importance of growing your own food and to start a demonstration garden/food forest on campus.” I look forward to joining this club soon, as well, I am really glad that I found out about it now so I can spread the message to more people on campus so hopefully they will join as well! From the looks of it, this club sounds like they can really make a difference! By joining, I hope I can help the club grow stronger. I am surprised I haven’t heard of it sooner.
