Brandeis hosts Earth Week

(05/03/22 10:00am)

Brandeis Earth Week, presented by the Office of Sustainability and the Center for Spiritual Life, was part of an international effort to focus on environmental issues. Earth Week is an extension of Earth Day, which occurs every year on April 22. According to the Earth Day website, the event was founded in 1970 by Sen. Gaylord Nelson (D-WI) who wanted “to infuse the energy of student anti-war protests with an emerging public consciousness about air and water pollution.” In conjunction with Davis Hayes, a young activist at the time, Nelson and Hayes organized a teach-in on college campuses on April 22, 1970. The movement grew until 1990 when Earth Day went international, with 200 million people in 141 countries participating.
