Lists will be more effective in reverse-chronological order. What about making Activities a separate section and list your experience inside/outside campus life in action/achievement-oriented manner, so that a potential employer can relate them to actual jobs?
I think every employer looks at a resume from "what can this person do for us?" point of view. Your ecology/photography background sounds very exciting, so I think you can pour that excitement into your resume too!

I would suggest using Brazen Careerist to look at a whole bunch of resumes. Most people will have a Word doc or PDF in their resume section. You can use a large sample to get a good idea of organization by topic, and how people phrase and present their work experience. You don't have a lot, so it's important that it be presented in a professional manner.
Also look at people's objective statements, if they have them. Your first paragraph could become a one or two sentence objective statement. But they need to be tailored to positions that you're applying for, so your resume should be strong if you decide to leave it off.
Good luck!

But the one you have shows you did it on your own, perhaps with help from some friends and relatives. If you want to compete in this marketplace, you need a much, much, much better resume. Most people are not able to do their own and most still make the mistake of reading all the info on the Internet (or the Brazen Careerist) and then trying to do it on their own. And the resulting resume is still way off the mark compared to how a pro can present you and the value you'd contribute to an organization. If you'd like to learn more, let me know.
