People for the Earth’s Environmental Preservation Society (PEEPS) is an organization made up of students, faculty and staff dedicated to promoting environmental sustainability at SRC through educational programs, field trips, recycling, and reducing waste at our college.
Canton Campus activities include:
- Earth Day Celebration and Tree Planting in the month of April.
- Fall/Spring Campus Clean-Ups that beautify the campus for all staff and students to enjoy.
- Field trips to sustainability conferences, museums, and recycling facilities to learn new ways of reducing consumption and recycling more materials.

- Fundraising to support our organization and its causes. Some activities in the past have included sale of reusable shopping bags and mugs.
- Regular meetings to exchange ideas and plan for future events.
