Earth Week 2012: Finding Room to Bloom Monday, April 16th – Sunday, April 22nd
What is Earth Week?Earth Week is a campus-wide event dedicated to engaging in dialogue, education, and action for the sake of sustainability. By shedding light on sustainability efforts in our community, Earth Week hopes to inspire participants to better understand and develop their relationship to the environment and to give participants the means to lead more conscientious, more planet-friendly lives. Throughout the week, there will be a variety of sustainability-related events and activities hosted around the UCSC campus. Various campus groups will host hikes, workshops, special meals, discussion groups, as well as special lectures and workshops that focus on Finding Room to Bloom in all facets of life as a citizen of the environment. What does "Finding Room to Bloom" mean?
Building off of the 2012 Earth Summit theme, “SPROUT,” Earth Week’s theme, Finding Room to Bloom, is about helping our community to flourish through conscientious action. It’s about finding space in both our personal lives and our communities to make positive sustainable changes, and realizing our power to make them happen!
