The UM Environmental Club works to educate Montevallo students and the surrounding community about solutions which improve the environmental stability of our society. Of late, our focus has been the implementation into university structure of a program that promotes avenues for making ethical decisions about energy consumption, food practices, and funding for green enterprise. We also work to improve the student body’s understanding of our food production system and its impact on our environment, health, and economy. To this end, we have created a community garden where students and community members can reconnect with food.
