Earth Fest at the University of Wisconsin–Madison will bring together all things environment and sustainability and unite our campus over the one resource and interest we all share: our world. Dive into groundbreaking research or dig in the dirt at community gardens. Sift and winnow the latest research or sort and filter recyclables. Make career connections for your future or master sustainable techniques for your home.
Schedule:
12:00 pm - 2:00 pm: Volunteering at the Allen Centennial Garden
Join us at the Allen Centennial Garden to help get the garden ready for spring. Be prepared to work outside and get a little dirty. This event is open to UW–Madison students only
3:00 pm - 5:00 pm : Green Cities, Green Students Resource Fair at 280 Science Hall
Utility services like electricity, running water, and sanitation are essential to our daily lives, yet they often go overlooked. Join us for hands-on activities and an informative session that will help you better understand how these services work and how they contribute to advancing sustainability. You’ll learn about their critical role in our communities and discover how improvements in energy efficiency can lower emissions and your energy bills. Plus, attendees will have access to practical kits designed to help make their living spaces more energy-efficient, saving you money while reducing your environmental impact. Food will also be provided!
