Northwest to celebrate Earth Days

Northwest Missouri State University will host a series of activities today to celebrate Earth Day, including a tree planting and an introduction of Northwest Bee Club with a new apiary. On Tuesday, there is a tree planting with Horace Mann Students at the Carl and Cheryl Hughes Fieldhouse and a Dumpster Dive to evaluate the amount of waste going to landfills. Earth Day was founded April 22, 1970 to create awareness of environmental issues. Northwest has been a leader in using alternative fuels since 1982 when it established a biomass energy system utilizing wood chips.
