For the second year, UIC will celebrate Earth Month with a wide range of environmental speakers, events and activities. Organized by UIC's Green Campus Council and cosponsored by 30 departments and organizations, Earth Month 2001 at UIC will cover topics from sustainable design to global warming, from the dangers of mercury to safer pesticide use. The events are designed to educate the university community and to involve everyone in the critical environmental issues affecting our campus, our region and our world.
All events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
