being that we're outdoorsy people, i'm going to assume that most, if not all of us have a decent respect for nature and environmental conservation. Treehugger.com is a blog about all things green.

they've got guides on how to reduce your environmental impact, news posts and links about all things environmental, and they've even got a job board (green-related jobs, of course).

from their site:

I like what the websites are about... should the AOC do more to make a difference with the environment? What about participating in Earth Day or recycling day or something?

there are trail maintenance days that some of our event coordinators set up, but there isn't really a push in the club to take part in specific "environmental protection" or clean-up events. it might not be a bad idea to look into it though. i mean, we do try to be environmentally conscious as a club, but i don't recall many (any?) events specific to the environment. not a bad idea though...

here is another two websites:
