Earth Month 2024
Earth Month is commemorated each April to honor the sustainable achievements of the previous year and promote sustainability on campus at UMD. Events are held throughout the month to encourage participation in local and global sustainable action. Join us in #DoingGood this April and attend some of the Earth Month events hosted on campus and in the local College Park community.
Earth Month 2025
Strength in Community: Achieving Sustainability Progress, Together
Earth Month is a powerful reminder that sustainability is not just an individual effort but a collective one. As we come together to tackle key issues across campus—everything from energy consumption to equality— we tap into the strength of our campus community. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, shared knowledge, and joint action, we can accelerate progress toward a more sustainable future.
