Earth Day's 50th Anniversary: Exploring Penn State’s Sustainability Past, Present, and Future

In 1970, more than 20 million Americans—including student leaders at Penn State—took to the streets and classrooms in an "environmental teach-in" for the first Earth Day, one of the largest demonstrations in American history. Fifty years later, as we celebrate this exercise in planetary-scale thinking, it's worth not only celebrating Penn State’s sustainability legacy but exploring what the next 50 years may bring. What does a just, equitable, and sustainable future for everyone look like, and how can Nittany Lions help realize this vision? Join leaders from Penn State’s Sustainability Institute for this look back and ahead
