April 22, 2024 is Earth Day!
Earth Day is an annual event held to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote action to protect the planet. The first Earth Day was held in 1970, and since then, it has grown into a global movement with participation from over 190 countries.
UBC is celebrating Earth Day with various events including bike repair info, a beeswax wrap workshop and a children’s gardening workshop, all put on by the UNA (University Neighbourhoods Association).
You can also celebrate by stopping by UBC Education Library and browsing the Earth Day book display located in the breezeway on the main level. The display features books about sustainability, conservation, and the natural world.
This Earth Day, let’s acknowledge our strides in protecting the planet while recognizing the challenges that persist. From individual actions to global initiatives, our efforts matter. Let’s pledge to live sustainably, advocate for the environment, and work together for a healthier planet. #EarthDay2024 🌍✨
