Mike Hanlon is the treasurer for the Environmentalists. He joined the club because he is passionate about sustainability. Although he can't participate with SWIFT very often, he does find the program to be important. Hanlon said that giving food that would have gone to waste to disadvantaged people is a great way to combat the problem of food waste,

According to Katie White, the Environmentalists took over SWIFT in the spring of 2016. All of SWIFT's members left to study abroad, so they asked the Environmentalists to take over. White said that SWIFT is important because Ithaca College has a lot of food waste and it has the resources to donate that food. She acknowledged that food waste is an international problem and said that people should do what they can to help their communities.

Sophie Johnson has been involved with the Environmentalists for two and a half years. She also volunteers for SWIFT (Stop Wasting Ithaca's Food Today) once a week. Johnson participates with SWIFT because it helps people in a sustainable way, She said that it's fulfilling because she's helping the environment and she knows that she's helping people.
