CSU Earth Week 2019

How important is sustainability at Colorado State? We have so many green initiatives, we need more than a whole week to celebrate Earth Day.

Earth Week is our chance to highlight some of the ways CSU is committed to sustainability every week of the year. Come celebrate all things green every day April 16-26, 2019, and check out the University-wide events calendar [1]for more fun every day.

And check out our State of Sustainability webpage[2] that showcases what makes CSU so green, from our Platinum STARS rating to our interdisciplinary research and teaching.

All events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
