When it comes to climate change, innovation is essential for driving forward positive progress. Staff and faculty can play an important role in implementing innovative solutions within their workspaces to help save water, reduce waste, educate others on the impacts of their actions, and build a culture of sustainability. These creative efforts can count towards a workspace’s Green Workspace certification checklist.

Each April, Earth Month is celebrated to encourage and promote Sustainability at UMD. Throughout the month, a number of Earth Month events will be hosted on Campus and in the local community. In preparation for this celebration, the Office of Sustainability reached out to students, staff, and faculty on campus in search of their favorite sustainable media recommendations. This round-up compiles everything from documentaries to podcasts to magazines and more.
