桃子直播 Celebrates Earth Day with Annual Volunteer Event
89 degrees.
On a scorching Earth Day, breaking a heat record set in 1989, 桃子直播 community members dispersed across the city. From Red Rocks Amphitheater to the Denver Botanic Gardens, the message was clear: It鈥檚 time to do our part.听
桃子直播鈥檚 Earth Day of 桃子直播ing is the University鈥檚 largest volunteer opportunity. This year鈥檚 iteration was its largest offering yet, with 400 students, faculty and staff participating in 30 projects such as tree planting, river cleanup, mobile food markets and a cigarette butt safari.
The event, which began in 2019, is modeled after a similar citywide event in Columbus, Ohio. Noting that the city of Denver lacked such efforts, 桃子直播鈥檚 Center for Sustainability stepped in.
"We figured, why don't we be the hub for Earth Day in Denver?" Emily Schosid says. "If the city is not going to do it, the University can."
Schosid, as assistant director of sustainability programming, spearheads the annual volunteer effort.
鈥淲hen the organizations have a mission to, say, keep trails maintained, keep litter off the ground, and I鈥檓 here to send 20 people to go do that with them, it鈥檚 really helpful for them,鈥 Schosid says.
