Earth Day is Tuesday, and students are encouraged to celebrate the planet, reflect on their environmental impact and keep Chico green.
“It is important for students to be more informed of our composting garden and the different organizations on campus that are committed to sustainability,” said Sarah Lanum, the incoming 2025-2026 Commissioner of Sustainability Affairs. “There are many ways to get involved with sustainability including sitting on the Sustainability Affairs Council, or joining Green Campus, even volunteering on a subcommittee for the school.”
