The ESD is a subset of the Dartmouth Outing Club and promotes environmental education and activism. The club’s promotion of lower energy use and the establishment of the recycling and composting programs have driven the College’s environmental awareness and improved practices on campus over the past four and half decades. In recent past the main purpose of the ESD is to nourish Dartmouth Organic Farm as a center for sustainability research, education, community building and outdoor recreation. Grants are to be given to applying sub-club, organization or project deemed to be making a significant environmental impact or educational effort. Application must include a simple budget, short description of use of money, and name of person responsible for the use of funds. Funds not used for the specified project (or misused) will be returned to ESD. ESD will be allocating $1000 dollars worth of funds over every academic term. Funds will be divided according to the needs and quality of applications Projects may extend through multiple terms, but all funds must be used by the end of the academic year. A board of DOC directorate members will choose which applications receive funding. Applications will be reviewed a week after the deadline during a DOC directorate meeting, where the applicant will be asked to present and defend their application. Individuals will be notified of the board’s decision within a week following that meeting. A short reflection (~ 1-2 pages) will be required on completion of the project evaluating the efficacy of the project in terms of improving sustainability and commenting on what the applicant(s) has learned about sustainability issues through the execution of the project. Download an application here<http://outdoors.dartmouth.edu/doc/esd/esdgrantapp.docx> and return to the chair of the ESD by October 10th. **Want to get more involved in sustainability this year?
