Every year as the harbingers of spring arrive on campus, we start to think more about the earth around us. Annually, April 22nd marks Earth Day, but we come to think of all of April as Earth Month. At WashU, we devote a full week (or more!) to celebrating and learning more about this place we call home.

Below, check out the events folks across the university have planned for Earth Week. We’ve also included relevant events that fall outside of the Earth Week time frame.
