EarthDay was established by the United Nations as a day to broaden, diversify and activate the environmental movement worldwide. Over 77 million Acts of Greening have been registered already on the official website, which depicts acts of environmental action taking place all over the world. The Sustainable Campus Initiative (SCI), a group comprised of students, faculty and staff working toward environmental progress at CEU, has taken steps to ensure that Earth Day activities are extended to the Central European University Campus. Please join the SCI in celebrating Earth Day on April 22, 2011 and find out what CEU is doing to become more sustainable, and how you can contribute.
