In honor of Earth Day on April 22, Northwestern students and faculty participated in numerous events on and off campus to raise awareness for environmental issues. Sustain NU promoted several events throughout the week such as tree-planting, a One Book One Northwestern panel discussion on weather and the climate, an Earth weekend scavenger hunt and an event hosted by the Knightlab and library to rescue scientific data published online.
Additionally, students from ISRC coordinated an opportunity for students to make signs to bring to the March for Science in Chicago on Saturday. Over 30 students and faculty joined the roughly 60,000 demonstrators seeking more evidence-based decision-making in the political sphere and general appreciation of the sciences. A number of speakers preceded the march, which ended at the Field Museum.
