Earth Day at USB: what are we doing for the world we live in?

Earth Day, which we commemorate annually on April 22nd, is an opportunity to reflect on the state of the environment and our impact on the planet. The faculties of the University of South Bohemia have prepared a program focused on ecology, sustainability, and nature conservation for this occasion. The aim of the events is to inspire responsible behavior towards nature and our surroundings. Come and get involved, gain inspiration, and become part of positive change – even a small step by each of us can have a big impact on the future of our planet.
