Earth Week

Earth Week is a campus-wide celebration dedicated to caring for our common home. Throughout the week, we highlight sustainability, community engagement, and environmental justice through events that inspire reflection, learning, and action.

4:30pm - Untangling Plastics lecture in the GSC in Arrupe Overlook with Bob Gedert

"Plastics are made from fossil fuels, and in every step in a piece of plastic's lifecycle, from creation to destruction, it negatively impacts Earth's climate. And yet, more and more plastics are being produced every day. We can no longer afford to ignore the connection between plastic and climate change."
