Towson University is celebrating Campus Sustainability Day on Wednesday, October 22, with a variety of fun activities.
“Campus Sustainability Day is about bringing attention to the many green initiatives on our campus,” said Campus Planning and Sustainability Manager Patricia Watson. “It gives students, faculty and staff an opportunity to get hands-on experience greening themselves and the campus, serving as a reminder that no act is too small and that together we can make a difference.”
Students, faculty and staff are celebrating the day with numerous events, including the following:
- An energy conservation contest in the residence halls
- The “Recycling Rush” competition among Greek organizations
- A green fair in the University Union, featuring representatives from local businesses
- A lecture by Energy Manager Steve Kolb
- A screening of the documentary “Wasteland,” about an artist who travels to the world’s largest landfill
- Free bike-blended smoothies on Paws Patio outside the University Union
- Ivy removal and tree planting in Glen Woods
- A pop-up bike repair shop and bike safety workshop
