ISU will celebrate Earth Day on April 22, from 10am-2pm, on the South Library Lawn. This year's theme, "Our Green Community, Our Sustainable Future", reminds us of our collective sustainability contributions (individually, as a campus and as a community) and challenges us to make our next commitment.
ISU's celebration will feature interactive "Stay and Create" or "Take and Create" upcycling activities, the opportunity to earn sustainably-minded, greener-living prizes, cookies and fruit-infused water, music from KURE, FREE bike tune-ups from ISU Recreation Services and the opportunity to learn from and network with representatives from campus and community organizations - committed to environmental, economic and social sustainability through missions, goals and initiatives.
Do not forget!! A non-perishable donation to The SHOP (campus student food pantry), your bike for a free tune-up and your reusable water bottle or mug for lavender lemonade or fruit-infused water (you can also earn one at the event).
ISU's Earth Day Celebration is sponsored by the Office of Sustainability and assisted by fabulous ISU student volunteers.
