Linfield College will host a variety of activities to celebrate Earth Week April 20-25. Watch a video.
Activities include speakers, games, a stuff swap and a barbecue featuring local foods. Throughout the week, an energy conservation competition will be held between residence halls.
Earth Week is designed to spread awareness of the impacts of our lifestyle on the environment and offer events for people to participate and realize how easy a sustainable lifestyle is to achieve. Learn how you can apply the sustainability ideas you learn this week to the other 51 weeks of the year, and possibly earn a few prizes for the sustainable practices you do already.
Activities are sponsored by the Office of Sustainability, Associated Students of Linfield College, Sustainability Council, Greenfield and the Linfield Garden. Visit www.linfield.edu/sustainability/earthweek for more information. And follow The office of Sustainability on Twitter (@sustycats) and Facebook (Linfield Sustainability).
Plus, throughout the week Mack the Wildcat is learning a different lesson in sustainability each day. Check them out on Linfield’s Twitter and Instagram pages and preview Monday’s video below.
