Celebrating Green Days!
Saturday, March 29 – Wednesday, April 30
Green Days, formerly known as SUNY Cortland Sustainability Month, is a celebration of our earth, our
community and the ways we interact with both. Join SUNY Cortland as we learn, grow and celebrate together
throughout the month of April with events, speakers and programs that promote living a sustainable life.
Cortland Green Days was launched on March 29, with the national Earth Hour blackout. A host of sustainability
activities and events includes lectures, Sandwich Seminars, the annual sustainable luncheon, a campus litter
cleanup, poster sessions, stargazing in the new Bowers planetarium, movies, ASC’s “Get Wasted” composting
demo, a campus tree walk, a GMO egg hunt, Transformations Keynote speaker and the Grand Opening of the
newly renovated Bowers Hall. Cortland Blooms, an Earth Ship Tour, Hoxie Gorge hike, and a community bike
“Glow Ride” are also being planned in the greater Cortland community. The campus will celebrate official Earth
Day on April 22 with “FesTREEval!”, a free interactive campus/community event to be held in Corey Union,
featuring food, music, games and sustainable activities. Green Days concludes with the official kickoff
celebration of the campus’ Solar Panel (PV) initiative, on May 9.
