FAU Student Promotes "Going Green"

If you take a walk around FAU you might notice a common theme, "Go Green." Despite FAU's valiant effort, one student is still not satisfied. Leonardo Calle, a senior ecology major and president of SEEDS, an educational program of the Ecological Society of America. According to their website, their mission is to diversify and advance the profession of ecology through opportunities that stimulate and nurture the interest of underrepresented students.

Calle and the rest of his organization work to spread the word about the importance of doing our part, as students, to preserve our future. For this semester Calle has prepared events such as the Key Biscayne Biblitz, meetings with younger students around the area, volunteering at local nature centers and even meet with other departments to try and get funding to build an "Earthship Structure" made of can and bottles.
