This club also sponsors a chapter of Roots and Shoots, founded by Dr. Jane Goodall. Roots and Shoots is dedicated to teaching young people how to observe and understand the world around them and urges them to become involved in environmental and humanitarian issues. The EAC runs the recycling programs at Yorktown, has adopted a beaver pond, works on community projects, and is in the process of designing and planting a garden environment in the Yorktown courtyard.
Membership is open to all Yorktown students.
The EAC meets Thursdays after school.
