The Environmental Resource Center (ERC) is a student-run organization at San Jose State University (SJSU), connected to the Department of Environmental Studies, and funded by the Associated Students and Transportation Solutions. The ERC was established in 1967 and soon became the student activist wing of the Environmental Studies Department. Since the early 1970s, the ERC has served SJSU with an a
nnual Earth Day celebration, an environmental library, and other projects that promote sustainable living. Students in the ERC started the campus recycling program and an alternative commute planning program that ultimately became Transportation Solutions, which is now a permanent department of Associated Students. Recently, ERC students began an urban farm non-profit organization called Veggielution.
