Sustainability at UH - Our Earth Week 2023

Our Earth Week 2023

Invest In Our Planet

Get Inspired. Take Action. Be a part of the green revolution.

For Earth Day 2023, we need to act (boldly), innovate (broadly), and implement (equitably). Businesses, governments, and citizens — everyone accounted for, and everyone accountable. A partnership for the planet.
