Every week is Earth Week

But in April we schedule events designed to highlight the importance of sustainable living:

From April 22-27, the UGA Office of Sustainability, Students for Environmental Action and other campus and community organizations will host events highlighting opportunities ranging from alternative transportation and local food to water resource preservation and career insights from industry leaders.

UGA Earth Week is held in conjunction with Athens-Clarke County Green Fest, a community-wide event that provides citizens with the opportunity to increase their awareness of and interest in improving the environment of their homes, yards, businesses and communities.

Creating the Office of Sustainability was a good step for a community with the size and impact of ours; we can and should do much more to encourage living within our means. Check the complete schedule at the link(s) and use these events to learn more about what you can do. Because every week is Earth Week.
