SOPE is a student organization dedicated to promoting environmental awareness and activism at Carleton and in the greater Northfield community. Every week we meet for discussion and action while working towards our goal of helping to increase environmental stewardship and sustainability in the world around us.
Our past projects have included Earth Week preparation and organization, Adopt-A-River, Green Bikes, composting, and collaborating with our peers across the state and the nation. Each year, we also send students to various regional and national environmental conferences across the country.
We have three active task forces right now: Composting, Sustainability Revolving Fund and Publicity and Awareness. For more, click here.
The presidents of SOPE for the 2008-2009 school year are Tess Dornfeld '10, Ray McGaughey '11, and Elizabeth Webb '09.
