At F锚te de la Terre, the recent Earth Day celebration, the Office of Sustainability practiced what it preaches.
Ten on campus departments and organizations participated in a "green" curriculum expo. Seven outside organizations were on hand to talk 鈥済reen鈥 jobs.
More than 500 students attended the April 19 鈥渮ero waste鈥 event on campus.
F锚te de la Terre was definitely all about ecology, right down to the food.
The jambalaya was served in biodegradable bowls, with biodegradable forks and napkins.
All drink containers were recycled.
And University President Dr. Joseph Savoie signed the President's Charge initiating the creation of the Office of Sustainability, which sponsored F锚te de la Terre in conjunction with the School of Geosciences and the Institute for Coastal Ecology and Engineering.
