The Rainforest Action Group is a student organization committed to educate the public on the importance of and awe-inspiring nature of the world's rainforests. RAG focuses on the causes of destruction and the associated plight of various indigenous cultures. Last year RAG played a large role in getting Menards, the Midwest's largest home improvement corporation to begin taking old growth wood off of their shelves. In the past, RAG pressured the University of Illinois to agree not to use rainforest timber that is unsustainably harvested in future university building projects. RAG members also give educational programs to area school children.
