UW-Eau Claire student organizations will be working together to raise awareness about environmental sustainability on campus for Eau Claire Campus Sustainability Days, held Oct. 21 to 23.

Organizations, including the Eau Claire Conservationists, Foodlums, Hobnailers and Student National Environment Health Association, will be presenting displays and speakers. Students, faculty and staff will also have the opportunity to recycle plastic bags, used cell phones, batteries, and ink cartridges, receive free bike tune-ups and advice, and participate in Putnam Trail hikes and clean-up as well as a Chippewa River clean-up canoeing trip.

Campus Sustainability Days speaker Terry Gips, President of Sustainability Associates, is nationally recognized and has worked for more than 30 years in the public, private and nonprofit sectors to create a world that is ecologically sound, economically viable, socially just and humane. Gips will be presenting, "Are You Prepared for Sustainability? A Quiet Revolution Comes to America," in Hibbard Humanities Hall, room 203.
