If you want to take a leadership role in the club, you can be part of the EARTH club Executive Board.  The EARTH club Executive Board coordinates all the club's activities, and meets every other Thursday (the Thursdays that the general membership doesn't meet).  We have an "open" Executive Board, which means that if you show up for 70% of all exec board meetings and 70% of general membership meetings, you are considered a member of the executive board.

Past EARTH club initiatives include:

• Coordinating the paper and container recycling program at West Bloomfield High School.  Since its inception in 1994, the program has recycled over 100 tons of materials, preventing them from reaching the landfill.
  
  
• aiding in rainforest conservation through purchasing acres of rainforest and raising awareness.
  
  
• creating environmental education fairs since 1999 for high school and elementary aged students, attended by hundreds of elementary school students and thousands of high school students.
