There is a thriving movement at Carleton to fight global warming and climate change, both with advocacy and by reforming the policies of the college. Forbes Magazine lists Carleton as one of the ten greenest colleges in the nation.

Students interested in helping the cause should attend a meeting of Students Organized for the Protection of the Environment (SOPE). They meet in Sayles at 9PM every Wednesday. The Carleton Student Association Senate also works with the Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC).
