Earth Day, held each April 22 to inspire awareness of and action for the Earth’s environment, had colleges across the nation participating in green events. At UMBC, students had opportunities to “relax and enjoy several showings of the Planet Earth television series, as well as a marathon of the 1990’s cartoon show, Captain Planet.”
UMBC was included among a list of schools doing creative activities for Earth day in, “Colleges Go Green, Each in Their Own Way, for Earth Day,” by U.S. News & World Report.
