The Office of Sustainability is partnering with UW-Madison Residence Halls, ASM Sustainability, and F.H. King Students for Sustainable Agriculture to put on events throughout the week leading up to Earth Day, from April 16th – April 22nd. In addition, we are encouraging everyone to attend the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, UW-Madison Earth Day Conference on Monday, April 23.
Below, we list individual events with their own Facebook event pages. We love RSVPs!
Finally, please post any photos or thoughts from the week’s events – we’d love to see what you did and hear what you think! Use #BadgersLiveSustainably and #EarthWeekUW in whatever you post so we can see your wonderful photos!
