KALAMAZOO--Western Michigan University will celebrate Campus Sustainability Day
Wednesday, Oct. 26, with a series of events in the Bernhard Center. All events are open to the public free of charge.
The day begins with EcoMug distribution and a Really Really Free Market, both from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Bernhard Center. The Really Really Free Market promotes reuse by offering a space for students and others to exchange useful items they no longer want.
Evening events take place in the President's Dining Room of the Bernhard Center. Fall refreshments will be available.
- 5 p.m.—Explore the different sustainability initiatives taking place at WMU, and take part in recycled arts and activities. Write or record your "sustainimonial," by sharing what you do or will do to live more sustainably.
- 6 p.m.—Presentation of student sustainability projects and panel discussion of sustainability efforts in departments across campus.
- 7 p.m.—Screening of "Fresh," a film that celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system.
Since 2003, Campus Sustainability Day has been a time to focus national attention on the success of the sustainability movement in higher education.
Campus Sustainability Day at WMU is sponsored by the Office for Sustainability.
