Earth Week continues

Spring is in the air and campus Earth Week activities are well underway. If you forgot to bring in your documents to shred or your electronics/techno trash/single use alkaline batteries to recycle today don’t panic, we’ll be there bright and early tomorrow so you can drop your items off.

Now that we’ve helped you responsible dispose of items in your home, come to the Sustainability Expo on Thursday for more information on the topics that interest you.

We’ll round out the week with an Arbor Day tree planting, free trees, free wildflower seeds and an opportunity to plant seeds.
