A.S. Sustainability Showcase

The Associated Students Sustainability Showcase is designed to educate the Chico community about the practical sustainability efforts that are being made by A.S., most of them behind the scenes and not known by the general public. The show will be displayed in Common Grounds (in the BMU) for the entire month of April, coinciding with the Earth Month activities.
