~~~~~~~~~~~JOIN CARBON CREW~~~~~~~~~~~

Since its creation in Fall 2018, Carbon Crew is pioneering carbon neutrality efforts here on the UC Berkeley campus. From pushing for more plant-forward recipes in our dining halls, to finding unique ways to engage our campus with the goals and strategies of the Carbon Neutrality Initiative, to developing environmental curriculum for local K-12 schools, Carbon Crew hopes to continue to raise the bar of what carbon neutrality efforts can manifest as here on our campus. In the coming semester, we hope to continue our efforts through our Food Team, Campus Engagement Team, CO2RE (CO2 Reduction and Education Team), and PR Team. If interested, email dantegonzales98@berkeley.edu and check out our crew here: https://serc.berkeley.edu/carbon-neutrality-2025/

Come join Bronte Velez from Planting Justice; who will connect current struggles in the community with the civil rights work of the Black Panther Party and the United Farm Workers.

Planting Justice is a grassroots organization with a mission to empower people impacted by mass incarceration and other social inequities with the skills and resources to cultivate food sovereignty, economic justice, and community healing.

Valentine’s Day may have passed, but to #MakeSercWerc, we need a whole lot of love! Big Give is coming soon!  

What is Big Give? Big Give is an annual giving campaign that gives you and the entire Cal community a chance to come together to support organizations like SERC and amplify your generosity through awareness. Without the help of our generous donors, SERC’s work and mission would not be possible. In the coming few weeks, leading up to Big Give, we’ll be highlighting and showcasing the people and programs that #MakeSercWerc.
