The Eco Working Groupseeks to come together and to talk, surface our experiences, concerns, learn, and to reimagine. The Eco Working Group began meeting on the Rutgers-Newark campus in the Fall of 2019 to begin imagining how we can reorganize as a campus to address the "hyperobject" that is global warming. This group is open to students, faculty, staff, and community members.
