Annual event promotes sustainable and environmentally conscious living<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The University of Mississippi<\/strong> community can enjoy the spring weather and learn about sustainable living during the Office of Sustainability<\/strong>‘s annual Green Week<\/strong>, which starts Monday, April 18 and runs through April 24, 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it was started in 2009, Green Week hosts a series of events and demonstrations each year to teach about and celebrate sustainability with the university and Oxford <\/strong>communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We hope to inspire students, faculty, staff and community members to forge new commitments to a more resource-conscious lifestyle and strengthen the presence of sustainability at the University of Mississippi and in the LOU community,” said Kathryn Kidd<\/strong>, project manager at the Office of Sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green Week will feature events that touch on different aspects of sustainability that appeal to a wide range of interests, such as planting native species, recycling, eating locally and environmental conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I hope that those who attend our Green Week events will walk away with a better understanding of sustainability initiatives in our community, why they matter and how they can contribute,” Kidd said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
