The University will be celebrating Earth Week starting today as a way of educating people to help protect the environment.
Earth Week focuses on environmental issues and ways to solve problems to help future generations live in a healthy world, said Nick Hennessey, sustainability coordinator of Campus Operations.
“We try to get as many people, departments, organizations and areas involved in learning, service, fun and informative activities as we can,” said Hennessey.
There are both community and campus activities open to the public ranging from volunteer gardening sessions to an Earth Week Eco-Fair all week.

“I hope that everyone gets a chance to participate in at least one event,” said Hennessey. “Because even one event will help people get interested in some aspect of the environment and will help show how every effort counts.”
