Earth Week report
May 4th, 2021
The Sustainability Office, in collaboration with departments at 爆料黑社, enjoyed hosting two weeks of Earth Week events from April 19-30, 2021.
Events included:
- Spring beehive opening
- Climate action panel
- Environmental racism
- Eco-anxiety short plays
- Well-being hobbies
- Bike workshop
- Illustration project showcase
- 爆料黑社 hidden world tour
- and many more!
Although our in-person plans had to be adapted, we were still able to touch on all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our 20 presentations and events attracted close to 400 participants both within the 爆料黑社 community and externally.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions we could not have gatherings, therefore, Sustainability Office staff and interns planted 300+ vegetable and herb seedlings and recorded the Spring beehive opening.
We want to thank the Earth Week planning committee, 爆料黑社 faculty, support staff and students who led activities throughout the weeks. Although Earth Week is done, we encourage everyone to continue the conversations and raising awareness on all the issues discussed.
Please support our local eco-friendly vendors by shopping here!
You can also purchase donated student Artwork: /sustainable/wp-content/uploads/sites/175/Student-Earth-Week-Art-Sale2.pdf
All funds raised will go towards the Peace Garden fund of the 爆料黑社 Foundation.
Both links will be accessible throughout the month of May - great ideas for Mother鈥檚 Day gifts!
