in appreciation
of the natural
world, ecological sustainability, and resource conservation.
The UAEC seeks ways to inform others about environmental
issues. The group shows
movies
and distributes reading material to encourage students to take interest in
topics that
affect
the health of the planet. In the

that benefit local wildlife conservation groups. Each spring, the UAEC hosts
EarthFest,
a community-oriented event intended to celebrate the world.
