NMU’s prowess in environmental sustainability

Plastic water bottles take 450 years to decompose. That’s not sustainable for Michigan’s future generations. And Northern Michigan University is tackling these issues on both a local and global scale.

So, during earth week, NMU wants to remind the public that little things, like throwing that plastic bottle into the recycle bin, can go a long way. Or, as Professor Mittlefehldt says “think locally; act globally.”

Earth Fest!

Earth Day, come join us (and many other clubs) in the Academic Mall to celebrate and protect the Earth! Various environment/sustainability-minded clubs will be set up on the lawn, either with information about how to get involved with them, an interactive activity, or both! We’ll be out from 12-4, feel free to stop by at any time! Masks must be worn correctly and social distancing followed for the entirety of the event.
