MU Student Enviro Group Celebrates One-Year Anniversary
OVEC applauds the first anniversary of Marshall University’s Student Activism for the Environment (SAFE).
We're pleased that we've been able to be involved alongside dedicated students and faculty. We've been able to foster collaboration with WVU’s Economic Justice Coalition at their April 2001 conference, engage students in training on surface mine appeals and join with SAFE and Coal River Mountain Watch on the June 2001 appeal of the Brushy Fork coal slurry impoundment. SAFE members have attended hearings, conferences, and direct actions with OVEC on a number of occasions.
A growing movement is afoot. Students, not just at Marshall and WVU, but Fairmont State, Shepherd, and recently Concord have engaged in environmental initiatives.
Former Marshall group MAPS (Marshall Action for Peaceful Solutions) has also reorganized and is collaborating with SAFE - a model of collaboration is in the works. In addition, under Progressive Technology project funding, OVEC has hatched a MU intern program and is very pleased to have grad student Bobby Nutter on board to develop informational materials. Be sure and see his maps at E-Day!
To Chris Brady, Michelle Townsend, all the SAFE crew, Heath Harris and all the MAPS crew, keep up the good work!
