What are you planning to do for Earth Day or if you could do anything for Earth Day, what would you do?
- Jošquin Malone, junior, anthropology and plant science double major with a focus on sustainable crop production
“I am probably going to take just a few minutes to be grateful for the planet and just for life. I’m going to be spending a good amount of the day picking up trash and getting people to do the same. I might attend a lecture hosted by Student Action for Sustainability.”
- Maddy Young, senior, marketing major
“Unfortunately I have a presentation but after that, I plan to slackline if it’s nice out and attend the Student Action for Sustainability guest lecture as well.”
- Ethan Major, freshman, engineering undeclared
“I’ll be nice to the Earth.”
- Brindley Rospars, senior, Doctor of Pharmacy major
“I might walk down to the beach close to me and see if there’s any trash I can pick up. Being close to the water, that is really important.”
- Brendan Peck, sophomore, environmental science and management major
“I don’t have a plan for the day but I am currently planting a pollinator garden in my backyard.”
- Virginia Smith, sophomore, Green Business double major
“I am just really appreciating the Earth for rotating especially on that day, I appreciate it every day. But I’m also going to be picking up a lot of trash. I live right by the beach at Point Judith so I’m going to go out there with a big trash bag and not come back until it is full.”
- Joshua Bohl, freshman, chemistry major
“I honestly forgot that it was Earth Day coming up, but I always try to use the reusable bags in the dining hall.”
- Vetle Nilsen, freshman, innovation and entrepreneurship major
“I didn’t realize it was coming up, but Earth Day is about reducing energy use and stuff so maybe I will try to keep my lights off all day.”
