**Chapter 1: Introductory Chapter ** This chapter will lay out the introduction to college environmental movements. Included in this chapter will be when and why college environmental movements started, theories behind political movements in general, and outline some of the recent environmental movements. This chapter will also briefly explain the rationale behind the study: so many environmental crisis and potential crisis exist today, from the biodiversity crisis to climate change to the potential dangers of using unconventional techniques to extract fossil fuels. A very brief history of each crisis, along with corresponding environmental movements, will lay the foundation for the rest of the book. **Chapter 2: Facilitators and Barriers ** This chapter will be something of a background section. It will explain what I mean by “facilitator” and “barrier”, and give examples of each. A few notable examples gleaned from my research will illustrate how different organizations and opinions can facilitate environmentalism. **Chapter 3: College is Just Four Years Long ** The short time that students are at college prevents them from getting everything done that they might. Projects may become inactive after students graduate, and students themselves may have a hard time seeing the long term future of their projects and possible projects, resulting in them aiming lower than they might otherwise. Specific examples learned in interviews and surveys will illustrate this chapter. **Chapter 4: Are All Environmentalists Crazy Liberal Hippies? ** This chapter will focus on the perceptions of student environmentalists obtained through the survey and interviews with student leaders. Different colleges are likely to have different perceptions of environmentalists. The interviews with college student environmental leaders will also help this chapter since many of the environmentalists are likely to have a sense of how their classmates perceive them. **Chapter 5: Student Government—Facilitator and Barrier ** This chapter will look at the student governance structure of each of the five colleges chosen, and note how that affects environmentalism at each college. How much overlap is there between proponents of sustainability and student government leaders? How does student government in general view environmentalists? **Chapter 6: Administration and Faculty ** This chapter will explore the effects of the administration and faculty at each college. Different colleges are likely to have different administrative structures and political climate in relationship to sustainability. The interviews with students will help me get a sense of these differences. **Chapter 7: Student Media ** Student media can also be both a facilitator and a barrier. Interviews with college student environmentalists will help me gain an understanding of the relationship between the environmentalists and student media at each college. I will also try to gain a rough understanding of the impact of student media at each college. **Chapter 8: Conclusion ** This chapter will tie everything together and explain my conclusion in detail.
