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.

The Green Workspace Program offers staff and faculty an opportunity to engage with sustainability at the community level. When staff teams unite around achievable goals to benefit the greater good, it can help build appreciation, recognition, motivation, and pride in our shared values. The Green Workspace Program is a holistic approach to sustainability that aims to equip staff and faculty with the knowledge, skills, and resources to be sustainable at UMD and beyond.
