Are you interested in being part of the environmental revolution?
Are you concerned with how our planet is affected by our actions? Do you want to learn about the connections between environmental law and societal practices? What about how to use the law to promote sustainable development and environmentally responsible resource management? If so, the Environmental Law Society (ELS) is excited to hear from you! We have already begun planning events for the new school year. For our first event, we will be hosting a mixer in the JCR with great prizes to be won, including a lunch with lawyers from Willms & Shier Environmental Law LLP. Later in the semester, we will be hosting a career panel, a movie screening, and a pub night. If you’re interested in environmental research or journalism, we hope to have a regular column in the Obiter, as well as our “Green Issue” in the winter semester.
We also have a subcommittee, Sustainable Osgoode, that will be addressing all of our campus sustainability issues, including waste reduction and composting.
If you are interested in joining ELS, or inter-club collaboration, come out to the Social Justice Mixer on September 4th between 2:30-4:30 pm, find us at the Clubs Fair on September 6th from 2:00-4:30 pm, visit our website at http://osgoodeels.wordpress.com/, or email us at environmentallawsociety@osgoode.yorku.ca.
We are currently looking for two 1L representatives for ELS. If you are interested in applying, visit our website or email us for details. The deadline for applications will be mid-September.
Have a great first week back at school, and a warm welcome to all the 1Ls and transfer students!
