On Thursday, April 19, East Tennessee State University will celebrate Earth Day through a variety of activities from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in Borchuck Plaza outside the Charles C. Sherrod Library.
Representatives of many regional groups and organizations engaged in environmental issues will present displays.
There will be a range of activities and performances, including music by students in the ETSU bluegrass program.
Established in America during 1970, Earth Day, which is officially recognized on April 22 this year, is an annual event promoting environmental education and awareness.
Now observed in more than 100 countries, the celebration has been called "the largest secular holiday in the world."
The event is sponsored by the ETSU environmental studies minor and the student group Initiative for Clean Energy (ICE).
In case of inclement weather, Earth Day activities will be held in Alumni Gallery, on the first floor of the D.P. Culp Center beside Borchuck Plaza outside the library.
