UC celebrates Earth Week

UC Students plant trees

Earth Day is all about demonstrating commitment to environmental protection and sustainability, and the University of Cincinnati is no exception.  UC has been celebrating Earth Week on campus, with various events geared towards environmental awareness and responsibility.

The Princeton Review also recently named UC among the nation’s leading green universities for the second year in a row.  This was in part thanks to:

• UC's increased commitment to recycling on campus
• Bearcat Bike Share, reducing carbon emissions through free bike rentals
• LEED certification of six academic buildings, including one Silver and one Gold

UC DAAP students have also been hard at work with finding eco-friendly design solutions, recently winning the International Staples EcoEasy Challenge.

Earth Day is a great time to get out and do something good for nature, with events being held nationwide.  Click here to find an event near you!
