Within the past year, Realistic Individuals Saving the Environment (RISE) has established itself as an environmental organization at The College of New Jersey. RISE began with its primary focus on global warming–more specifically, how to curb the effects and educate the public.
The new club had jumped aboard with TCNJ political science, helping out with April Public Issues Summit and the Network Fair in July. Currently, RISE is trying to co-op with other environmental and community service clubs on campus. The club is attempting to get in touch with mega-stores in the area to donate green bulbs to college dorm students, in order for us to track the amount of money and waste going green can save.
The foundation for this club is meant to be young, inspired college students that bring in fresh ideas every semester. As such, RISE is always looking for more members, particularly those that want to have leadership roles. If you are interested, contact me muchnik3@tcnj.edu and/or stop by TCNJ community fest tomorrow afternoon.
