M.E.V.O. (Mahwah Environmental Volunteers Organization)

The Mahwah Environmental Volunteers Organization (M.E.V.O.) was founded in the summer of 2008 by Eric J. Fuchs-Stengel and Samuel A. Berman. After going on numerous hiking expeditions during the summer, the two friends became motivated to preserve the natural beauty of our environment. And so, M.E.V.O. was born. M.E.V.O. is a volunteer organization; its primary goals being to clean up, preserve, and protect the environment. Of course, we understand that we can't do this alone, so it is also our mission to raise awareness about pollution, and to motivate other groups and individuals to help us in this cause. These goals will be accomplished by organizing a variety of activities for our volunteers, from hike-a-thons and bike-a-thons to clean-ups and recycling drives. M.E.V.O. is also a "friendship" organization which volunteers its time to help out other friend and partner organizations that work to protect and enjoy the environment as much as M.E.V.O.. Because ultimately, saving the environment and planet is going to be a team effort. And it won't be easy, but it will definitely be worth it.

YERT: your environmental road trip

This version of yert represents the concern for sustainable living, and for people becoming more aware of being environmentally conscious.
Yert or Yurt ⛺️ can also describe the tent-like or circular dwellings that modern-day hippies may favor!
Are you sick and tired of materialistic living and the battle to keep up with the Joneses? Then sell your stuff, hop in the van, and go on YERT: your environmental road trip.

A high school located in Baltimore County. A magnet schook, it has various focus programs based on the individual student's preference. But a magnet must be chosen before the student enrolls. You must also apply.

A side note: Basically run by its non-existent princpial Richard Jester, seeing as how I've only seen the man 7 times since 2006 (My freshman year). Ran by the Class of 2010. All other graduating classes bow to us. As simple as that.
"Yo, where you go to school at?"

"Western Tech a.k.a 2010's chill spot."

"O yea, I heard that yall run dat school."

"Damn straight nigga...Western Tech (Western School of Technology and Environmental Science)"

Gray Environmentalism

The view that economic solvency implies environmental sustainability, asserting that dense, solvent urban development is environmentally superior to subsidized car infrastructure and, by extension, Levittown-style development. Many "gray environmentalists" do not care about the environment at all, but rather their preferred policies simply have positive environmental externalities (e.g. a libertarian approach to land use results in more efficient, and therefore less sprawling, development and infrastructure).

Gray Environmentalists argue that per-capita environmental impact is most limited in these dense, walkable, communities, not because there is a deliberate effort, but instead due to factors such as car independence (as opposed to car dependence) and central heating (even if minimal, as in duplexes). Proponents also argue that denser development frees more space for parks and recreational centers, thereby creating a greater potential for green space, whether in the community or immediately outside of it.

Gray Environmentalists differ sharply from the more well-known Green Environmentalists, who are in favor of increased regulation, a "return to nature", and frequently view nature as more innocent, and therefore superior, to human lives.
"Did you hear that high birthrates and immigration are causing overpopulation?! We need more living space!"

"Adolf, ever hear Gray Environmentalism? Build up, and not into Poland."

"Ja, but kill enough people and we get lower carbon output!"

"Or, hear me out, maybe don't build the autobahn?"
