OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 The University of Mississippi<\/a> community can enjoy the spring weather and learn about sustainable living during the Office of Sustainability’s annual Green Week, which starts Monday (April 18) and runs through April 24. <\/p>\n

Since it was started in 2009, Green Week hosts a series of events and demonstrations each year to teach about and celebrate sustainability with the university and Oxford communities.<\/p>\n

“We hope to inspire students, faculty, staff and community members to forge new commitments to a more resource-conscious lifestyle and strengthen the presence of sustainability at the University of Mississippi and in the LOU community,” said Kathryn Kidd, project manager at the Office of Sustainability.<\/p>\n

Green Week will feature events that touch on different aspects of sustainability that appeal to a wide range of interests, such as planting native species, recycling, eating locally and environmental conservation.<\/p>\n

“I hope that those who attend our Green Week events will walk away with a better understanding of sustainability initiatives in our community, why they matter and how they can contribute,” Kidd said.<\/p>\n
