SMOC teams up with ISU to host Earth Day Festival
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College partnered with Indiana State University to hold an Earth Day Festival on Saturday. This is all in part of the 'We're all in this together partnership.' The White Violet Center of Eco-Justice from the Sisters of Providence, and the Indiana State University Office of Sustainability partnered together to host the event. The festival hosted many vendors, where eco-friendly products were sold, along with educational booths as well. 'Each year, we like to come together on Earth Day to just talk about how much we care for our planet,' said Tara Elmore, Program and Events Director for the Sisters of Providence. 'We hope that everybody works together and does the same. It does so much for us, and we don't have another planet that we can go to. We need to do our part in taking care of it.' The Indiana DNR Woods on Wheels and the Vigo County 4-H Alpaca and Llama Club, were a few of many local organizations that attended the event. The goal of the Earth Day Festival was to spread awareness and educate those on how to protect our planet. With the great weather this weekend, the festival was a great turn out overall.
