Thu., Apr. 14, 1988

Earth Week, sponsored by the Environmental Science and American Studies departments, began on April 14th. DARE (Dickinsonians Advocating Resourcefulness with our Environment) was also involved in this program: it was their first big educational program. Some of the events that were hosted during Earth Week were movies and speakers discussing environmental topics, the planting of a tree by the Young Entrepreneurs Society (YES), and a concert by the campus band Crazy Epsters. Some of the speakers were Anne Wilkas from Greenpeace and Lois Gibbs, advocate for the clean-up of the Love Canal area in Niagara Falls, New York. Earth Week ended on Wednesday, April 20th.
