April 22 will mark the 51st annual Earth Day. As weather warms and plants bloom here in Nebraska, organizations all over the world will be celebrating the day in support for environmental protection, and several clubs at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln have come together to do the same.
Each year, the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska puts on Earthstock, a month-long event to celebrate Earth Day and raise awareness for sustainable living.
ASUN partnered with the University Program Council and Sustain UNL to create a month of eco-friendly events. ASUNâs Environmental Sustainability Committee chair and senior computer science and economics double major Rohan Thakker said Earthstock is a chance for UNL students to engage with the eco-friendly groups on campus and learn helpful environmental practices.
