April 20-26

Earth Week presents an opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to engage in cross-disciplinary events designed to educate and inspire action. This year’s theme is Restore & Regenerate—to inspire us to think of what replenishes and revitalizes our planet’s natural systems while building community. Earth Week elevates our collective impact by encouraging involvement from all schools and centers at Penn.

A calendar of events is available on the Penn Sustainability website. Activities include campus tours, panel discussions, craft projects, e-waste drives, and exhibits. Some highlights:

• April 22–Create and print your own greeting cards with Penn Libraries.
• April 23 and 25–Dispose of your e-waste and learn about composting at Penn Carey Law.
• April 24–Volunteer to help prepare Penn Farm for a new growing season.
• April 26–Learn about the impacts of lead exposure to people, wildlife, and the environment.
• April 26–Visit GreenFest, a long-running Penn tradition for student organizations to share their visions and projects related to environmental sustainability.

There is still time for your school or center to host an event for Earth Week. Use this online submission form to participate, or email sustainability@upenn.edu.
