Sunday, April 22, is Earth Day, which started in 1970 and supports environmental protection. From reimagining urban landscapes to exploring wind power, members of the New York Tech community are working hard to find new and innovative ways to protect the environment and keep our planet safe. Join in the celebration of our planet by attending an event on campus or search online for other ways to get involved in your neighborhood.
Below, The Box looks back at some of the research, projects, people, and events that emphasize sustainability and a healthier planet.
