Earth Month puts focus on U-M sustainability efforts »
The University of Michigan is marking late March and all of April with a series of events focused on sustainability and climate action, continuing a tradition that began with the first “Teach-In on the Environment” in 1970 — which grew into what is now known as Earth Day. The events span various environmental sub-topics. Programs are offered by several university units, including the School for Environment and Sustainability, Graham Sustainability Institute, Office of Campus Sustainability, Student Life Sustainability, Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum, Global CO2 Initiative, LSA, and various student organizations.
