About [Edit]
Earthweek is both a celebration of the environmental movement as
well as an excellent opportunity for discussion of environmental
issues and solutions. Earthweek is organized by the Sustainability
Team, in the office of the President of ASUC (UC Berkeley's Student
Union), as one of our students' efforts to increase the community's
awareness of our environment and to promote sustainability
Last year, with the help of over 40 community organizations
and
60 campus groups, the week long event was a great success. We are
confident that we will succeed again this year with the help of
various participating groups, and that it will be one of the major
campus events of the year.
Our vision for earth week is to expose our students to as numerous current topics related to the environment as possible, some examples are climate change, organic food, human rights, green business, alternative energy and many more. There will be tabling, presentations, music, performances, sustainably produced food and guest lectures. Some on and off-campus events put on by groups in the past year included (but are not limited to) green room tours, film showings, trash art contests, lectures, photo exhibitions, and panel discussions.
