Earth Week 2022 - Invest in Our Planet
EARTH DAY 2022 INVEST IN OUR PLANET
This is the moment to change it all — the business climate, the political climate, and how we take action on climate. Now is the time for the unstoppable courage to preserve and protect our health, our families, and our livelihoods.
For Earth Day 2022, we need to act (boldly), innovate (broadly), and implement (equitably). It’s going to take all of us. All in. Businesses, governments, and citizens — everyone accounted for, and everyone accountable. A partnership for the planet.
At CSB/SJU, we're taking this Earth Week to give back to our community and share the good news - We are the climate generation! Our actions, large and small, global and local, change our world.
CSB/SJU will be hosting the following events.

Climate Justice Club Divestment Panel 5-6 in Pengel 269 Q: What is Divestment? A: Taking the school's endowment (investment money) OUT of environmentally harmful investments, including but not limited to fossil fuel companies (ex. Exxon, Shell), energy companies (ex. Enbridge, who bankrolled Line 3), and extractive industries (ex. mining, fracking). We believe it is morally unacceptable to give money to these groups.

Return of the Fish! CSB Koi Pond at 4pm We've been ceremoniously returning the fish to the CSB fish pond since 2002, when History professor Dr. Annette Atkins suggested we create a new, CSB-specific celebratory tradition. Join us again at the CSB Koi pond (between Mary Commons and the Main building) to put our beautiful fish back in their summer home and welcome the arrival of spring!
