ESU Celebrates Earth Day, April 21

East Stroudsburg University is celebrating Earth Day on April 21, on the Shawnee Quad from 12 p.m. – 4 p.m.

“It’s important to understand current issues about the environment and the way the earth’s health directly affects our well-being,” Madeline Constantine, program director at Stony Acres, the ESU student-owned recreation area in Marshalls Creek, Pa., said. “We hope people who attend the celebration will be more informed about environmental issues.”

The event will include booths, live music, environmental trivia and giveaways. Presentations will occur throughout the day. Speakers include James Hunt, Ph.D., associate professor of biological sciences, Paul Wilson, Ph.D., assistant professor of biological sciences, and Brian Hardiman, a representative from the Monroe County Conservation District (MCCD).

This year’s Earth Day celebration includes a new program: Give it Up and Take it Away. Participants will be able to recycle any items that are in good condition from 12 p.m. – 1:30. After 1 p.m., items will be available for people to pick up. The committee reserves the right to review all items that are donated to determine their condition.

The Earth Day celebration is open to the public and it is free of charge. For more information contact Constantine at 570-422-3334.
