The 30th anniversary of Earthfest took place Sept. 30 under sun-filled, clear skies on the Diag, drawing hundreds of visitors to experience the dozens of informational stands and student organizations.

Among the many activities were a chef demo by MDining that included campus-grown and locally sourced ingredients; free bike repair and commuting advice from Common Cycle; Student Life Sustainability offering free screen printing and grad cord-making; and animal ambassador visits from the Leslie Science & Nature Center.

Part of this year’s inaugural Climate Week at U-M, Earthfest celebrates sustainability initiatives across U-M and the surrounding communities, while providing an inclusive platform to educate and engage the campus community on opportunities to support sustainability and environmental justice on campus and in our daily lives.

Organized by the Office of Campus Sustainability, with support from the School for Environment and Sustainability, Student Life Sustainability, the Graham Sustainability Institute, Athletics, MDining, and Custodial & Grounds Services, Earthfest has grown over three decades into a signature campus event showcasing the breadth of sustainability at U-M and beyond.
