About Us
The EARTH Club exists to spread awareness and accomplish environmentally friendly initiatives on the DeSales University Campus. The club gives students the opportunity to work together on a wide variety of projects to make campus a greener place. The EARTH club members will participate in educating students and visitors about the dangers and health consequences of microplastics on the Earth and our bodies. We hope to employ the catholic belief of protecting God’s gifts and creating a clean habitat on campus. We will represent DeSales University honorably by; educating, protecting, and creating a welcoming environment for all.
