Welcome to the EAC!

The Harvard College Environmental Action Committee seeks to help achieve a sustainable world and protect the environment for its human and non-human inhabitants. To this end, the EAC aims to raise the consciousness of Harvard’s students to the effect of their own actions on the environment and to their status as stewards of this planet’s resources. We advocate specific changes at the campus, local, national, and international levels. Furthermore, we serve as a forum for discussion and a source of information on environmental issues. Finally, we seek to enrich our members through fun and fulfilling experiences.

We recognize that we are but a small part of a much larger environmental movement, but we know that a few committed individuals can make large contributions. Through reaching out to other groups, inspiring others by our example, and adapting to changing needs, we expect to use our four years in Harvard’s gates to change the world so that our children may live in a world where ecological values are widespread and the planet is healthy enough to foster a healthy human race.

The Environmental Action Committee meets on a weekly basis to plan and discuss upcoming projects. With a new semester upon us, we look forward to setting new plans for the spring. We hope you’ll join us.

A Harvard College Bike Share has Arrived: VeriFast Cycles!

About VeriFast Cycles:

Finally, it has arrived. A pilot Harvard bike-share program designed primarily for undergraduates launched on April 25 at the EAC’s Earth Day Block Party.

For Phase 1 of the bike-share program, a fleet of 8 bikes are be provided for undergraduates and undergrad house affiliates to borrow. The bikes will be stored in Mather house and Cabot house (four bikes in each house). Also provided are helmets and bike locks, and each bike is equipped with a handy basket. If the pilot program is successful, it will expand to more houses and the yard next year.
