Our planet undoubtedly deserves more than just a day of appreciation. This year, the University of Oregon has honored Earth Day with a whole week of events, all with one goal in mind: keeping our planet green and our waters blue.
Hosted by the Student Sustainability Coalition and sponsors, Earth Week started on Monday, but there is still plenty of time to check out these other events happening on campus daily until Saturday, April 25.
So if you’re one of the many who forgot to mark their calendar this year, don’t feel bad — take your pick of one or more of these environmentally friendly events.
For more information, contact the Earth Week Coordinator at earthweek.uossc@gmail.com. “Attend” the Facebook event here to stay up to date.
