Sustainability at Harvard

Earth Month 2011

At Harvard our commitment to sustainability is a way of life, connecting faculty, students and staff at all 12 plus Schools and departments. It’s why we say “Green is the New Crimson.” Even though April 22 is Earth Day, there are events and activities happening around campus all month to celebrate and raise awareness about environmental issues. Get involved today! Attend one of the events below, check out our tools and resources links, and share your photos with us on instagram and twitter using the #greenharvard hashtag.

For even more Earth Month events, check out the Harvard University Center for the Environment.
