Dear College of Education Community,
Next Monday, April 22nd, is Earth Day, a time to be mindful that we are caring for ourselves when we care for the earth! Events are available all week all over the world and can be found at the Official 2024 Earth Day website: https://www.earthday.org/ “Join us to honor and celebrate our remarkable planet on this extraordinary day. Earth Day is a reminder of the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability, encouraging us to come together and take action for a healthier planet and brighter future. Through various events, toolkits, and initiatives, we aim to raise awareness, inspire change, and foster a deeper connection with nature. Let's unite in our efforts to protect the Earth today and for generations to come. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and create a more sustainable world.”
