NCC to Celebrate Earth Day Tuesday, April 22

Earth Day is just around the corner. Many activities are going on around the world as well as in our community. Please get involved. We need to keep our Earth healthy for all living things.

To celebrate Earth Day, Nash Community College students, faculty and staff annually participate in Green Day activities.

Wear Green

On Tuesday, April 22nd, you are encouraged to wear green to celebrate Green Day. You are also invited to participate in the following two campus events.

Green Day Tree Planting Ceremony

At 12:00 pm on April 22nd, students, faculty and staff will meet at the Electric Line Construction training field for the tree planting ceremony. This year’s guest speaker will be Mr. Stacy Boone, Regional Manager for Regional Materials Recovery, Inc. Join us as we learn about Regional Materials Recovery and how they make a positive impact on our environment.

Green Day Litter Pick-Up

Immediately following the tree planting, students, faculty and staff will pick-up litter along the roadside. Plan to meet in front of the Business & Industry Center after the tree planting. NCC is responsible for picking up litter from the railroad track near Nash Central High School to the stoplight near Northern Nash High School. If everyone participates, we will be able to cover the entire area.

Guidelines for Review

Please review the following information prior to April 22nd. Each participant will be required to sign a form stating they have reviewed these items prior to participation.
