Give back in your community on Earth Day

Sunny skies are the perfect excuse to trade your car for your bike, grow a garden, or go on a walk. While not everyone may be able to plant their own garden, everyone can find small ways to raise awareness and appreciation for the only Earth we have. Earth Day 2016 will take place on Friday, April 22.

To celebrate the wonderful world we live in, the WSU Center for Civic Engagement invites students, faculty, and staff to join us for service projects with an environmental or sustainability focus throughout the week. Everyone is welcome to participate in the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute’s annual Pullman Stream Cleanup at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 16, at 325 SE Spring Street. For students, the CCE has set up a special project with White Spring Ranch on April 22, and a variety of sustainability-focused, CCE-led projects are available all week. Global Campus students are invited to participate in sustainability-related service projects in their home communities. Global students should visit cce.wsu.edu/get-engaged for instructions on finding service projects.

On Earth Day, the ASWSU Sustainability Alliance will hold their annual Earth Day Fair from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the Glenn Terrell Mall on the Pullman Campus. All are invited to learn about other great Earth Day events as well as campus and community groups working toward environmental sustainability in our community.

We hope you’ll join us in working toward environmental sustainability in our community. To learn more about Earth Day, visit cce.wsu.edu.
