(start year uncertain)
Listed as Environmental Resources from 2001; ER itself began as a SECS newsletter in the 1970s. Renamed the Green Observer in 2005-06.
Why it left the Y:
Became a working group of SECS.

The campus's student-run environmental magazine. As Environmental Resources it was a joint publication of SECS, Red Bison, the Rainforest Action Group and the Campus Vegetarian Society; SECS members relaunched it as the Green Observer in 2005-06. It went online-only around 2018-19.
