Weber State Celebrates Earth Day April 19, 2021 OGDEN, Utah – Sustainability remains a top priority at Weber State University, even amidst the challenges presented by a global pandemic. April 22 marks the 51st anniversary of Earth Day, and WSU is celebrating its continued sustainability efforts. Sustainability Practices and Research Center (SPARC) Director Alice Mulder said the actions of governments, businesses and communities around the world to keep people safe in response to COVID-19 have provided a number of valuable lessons for addressing climate change. “Importantly, we have learned we can adapt quickly when we are informed by science,” Mulder said. “We can recognize a pressing collective challenge and put our minds to it, with individuals benefiting themselves and the larger community. During the year, we both reduced the spread of the virus and saw reduced emissions and improved air quality as many people worked remotely.”
