'he nation jumped on the en
vironmental bandwagon in
1990 with the 20th anniver
sary of Earth Day.
The Texas Environmental Ac
tion Coalition was formed
amidst the excitement and has
endured as a campus organiza
tion whose goal is to make the
world a cleaner and better place
to livfe.
Ppeserving the state of the en-
vironlment may seem like a lofty
goal, but members of the coali
tion embrace the challenge.
Carrie Thompson, a senior ge
ography major and club presi
dent, said TEAC stays focused
on its mission.
“We want to sustain clean
living in the Ivorld,” Thompson
said. “I can’t just stand by and
watch people get sick and
species die off. I wish people
could just see the errors of their
ways and that something can
s be donei”
The group was plagued with
problems last year when officers
resigned and membership
dropped. Thompson said she
hopes this will be the year the
club can revive itself,
j “In the past, we had over 200
members,” Thompson said.
“Membership has waned, and
one of our main goals of the
year is to get people as interest-
fed as they were in the past. We
lean do so much more with a lot
of members.” i
As the name implies, the
group is rooted in action. It
takes a hands-on approach to
tackling environmental issues.
The group took part last year
in Free the Planet, a nation
wide petition drive, which in
cluded 25 different requests,
ranging from preservation of
the wilderness to anti-nuclear
lected 2,000 signatures on the
A&M campus, was sent to
Speaker of the House Newt
Gingrich.
Thompson said Texas sena-
the drive created.
“I think we could have ob
tained a lot more signatures,”
Thompson'.said. “The anti-nu
clear stance, however, drove a
lot of students away.”
Although political action was
the focus of last year,-the coali
tion hopes to get back to its origi
nal focus of a hands-on approach.
The group is planning its an
nual trip to clean up Matagorda
Beach, and it also plans to visit
Fossil Rim Wildlife Refuge in
Glenrose, which is west of Dallas.
Kip Asbury, a junior geology
major and club member, said the
trip to Fossil Rim has always
been his favorite part of TEAC.
“Fossil Rim is such an inter
esting experience,” Asbury said.
“We got to camp out and got a
behind-the-scenes tour of the
park.
“We actually got to see and
feed endangered species,he said.
“We saw the last prairie chicken
alive. I always look forward to
this trip the most.”
Working closer to home,
TEAC attacks environmental
and ecological problems in the

could come up with the actioi
