Earth Cups is a sustainable product company, started by two college students, operating with the mission to Make Sustainability Cool. They were inspired by the ubiquitous red solo cups they saw littered around their campus, and wanted to start a movement to make sustainability the new norm among college students. They launched Earth Cups, 100% plant-based and compostable cups that look and feel just like a typical single-use plastic cup, but serve as a much more sustainable alternative. Earth Cups now has 2,000+ college ambassadors and is quickly spreading around the nation, specifically focusing on reducing plastic waste on college campuses.This organization will act as the official UVA chapter of Earth Cups. We will work to spread their mission to Make Sustainability Cool at UVA and reduce the plastic waste. This club will act as a community-place for like-minded individuals that want to build a better future. Whether you are interested in going into environmentalism, startups, marketing, or just want to make a difference, this is the place for you. We will host regular events to spread awareness and push students to shift away from plastic and make plant-based cups the new go to, especially targeting off-grounds groups.

The purpose of this organization shall be to further the best interests of the students of the School of Education and Human Development through student representation in matters affecting student life and affairs, as well as through promotion of improved community conditions.

The Environmental Justice Collective (EJC) strives to recognize that intersectionality is essential to understanding the complexity of environmental justice. EJC believes all people, regardless of marginalized identity factors, have the right to thrive in healthy physical, natural, social, and mental spaces. EJC opposes the legacies of colonialism, capitalism, racism, and the heteropatriarchy that changed our relationship with the environment from one that is symbiotic to parasitic. EJC looks to Indigenous communities for guidance to reevaluate our relationships with the environment. Through direct action, community building, and mutual education, EJC strives to provide a safe space for students of color and the larger UVA community to discuss environmental injustice in the so-called United States and globally. 

We believe that one of the most important parts of preventing further damage to the environment and climate destruction lies in the policy passed by the government (local, state, and federal). A lot of public policy gets lost behind buzz words, which makes it even harder to stay up to date on local politics. Our mission is to educate on and spread accurate awareness of current local environmental legislation and policy, both policies in progress and already adopted, for the purpose of furthering concern and youth action for the welfare of our planet.
