EAO members have regular meetings which usually involve a  special activity or speaker meant to enrich their knowledge of environmental  issues. Although the group is small they manage to support many environmental  initiatives around Auburn including game-day recycling,   the Green Living  Workshop,   the Recycled Art Workshop,   and Earth Fest. <\/p>\n<p>Each year local bands, vendors, and other environmental  organizations set up stage in the Donald E. Davis Arboretum on Auburn  University&rsquo;s campus for an all day event called EarthFest, which is open to the  public. Not only is EarthFest an opportunity for folks to celebrate Earth Day,  it&rsquo;s an opportunity for environmental organizations to promote their causes,  and a fundraiser for EAO. This year&rsquo;s EarthFest was a huge success! <\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align:center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aaes.auburn.edu\/wrc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2012\/05\/1a1.png\" width=\"400\" height=\"353\" border=\"1\" \/><br \/>\nAWW Display at 2012  EarthFest<\/h4>\n<p>\t\t\t    Throughout the years many members of the EAO have become AWW water monitors,  and have monitored sites throughout the Auburn area. They understand the  mission of AWW and feel that it is an important organization for Alabama. As a  gesture of their support to AWW, EAO decided to donate portion of their  EarthFest proceeds to AWW. On April 25th, EAO members presented AWW  with a check for $500! <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aaes.auburn.edu\/wrc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2012\/05\/eao11.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" hspace=\"70\" border=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>AWW is very appreciative of this generous gift! This  donation will allow new monitors to be certified through AWW workshops, and  will provide chemicals to active monitors so that they can continue to collect  valuable water data.\u00a0 This group of  young, dedicated, and giving individuals should be an inspiration to us all and  a glimpse of what the future of Alabama&rsquo;s environmental movement can be.
