This week on Common Air, Louise Snodgrass sits down with Artemis Eiyster and Jules Gavin from the Fort Lewis College Environmental Center to talk about student-led sustainability, campus initiatives, and this year’s upcoming Sustainability Summit on October 29.
They share how the Environmental Center empowers students to turn ideas into action through hands-on projects like managing the Free Store and e-bike program to leading composting, trail maintenance, and ecological landscaping projects. Artemis discusses how professional staff support these initiatives and connect students to research, career, and community opportunities in the growing field of sustainability.
The conversation also dives into the importance of collaboration across campus and community, highlighting this year’s Summit partnership with the Good Food Collective and the unveiling of the La Plata County Food System Plan.
Tune in to hear how the next generation of environmental leaders is shaping a more resilient, connected future right here in southwest Colorado.
