Earth Week

LSU Campus Sustainability is excited to host the first-ever Earth Week at LSU from April 20th through April 25th. This new campus tradition will bring students, faculty, and staff together to celebrate sustainability and environmental awareness.  

Why Earth Week Matters

Earth Week encourages the LSU community to learn more about sustainability and explore ways to live and work more responsibly. Events will focus on topics like waste reduction, conservation, sustainable food systems, and community engagement. 

It is also an opportunity to highlight the sustainability work already happening across campus while inspiring new ideas for the future.
