Campus sustainability isn't accomplished by just one office or department. It is a
collaborative effort that requires help from all organizations and individuals across the
university and in the community.
Green on Greene: Celebrate Earth Day 2021! The Student Council on Sustainability, a group of campus sustainability leaders, has
organized a week long celebration Earth Day called Green on Greene with a mix of socially distant and virtual events and engagements. Follow @sustainablecaro on Instagram for live updates and join events on Greene St according to this outline to receive prizes each day!
