SEMO Celebrates Earth Day with No Impact Week

Vanderbilt’s Sustainability and Environmental Management Office (SEMO) celebrated Earth Day a little early by organizing a “No Impact Week” April 14-18 on campus.

SEMO staffers converged on the Rand Wall to encourage the Vanderbilt community to improve their conservation efforts—including eating locally, conserving water and using only items that can be recycled—and then talk about it online.

Many staff, faculty and students joined in and have been posting pictures of their Earth-friendly activities on social media. See them on the SustainVU Facebook page.

Everyone is encouraged to continue finding ways to reduce their impact on the environment through Earth Day, April 22, and beyond.

Be sure to share your stories, and remember to use the hashtag #VUEarthDay14.
