Earth Day All Year Long at UOF!
Since 1970, April 22nd is International Earth Day. At the Université de l’Ontario français, the Urban Environments program educates students about the importance of protecting the planet in many different ways throughout the year.
In 2022, the theme for Earth Day was eco-anxiety. UOF student Rosine Toutsop Dongmo explains that it is the feeling of anxiety or concern about the upheaval caused by climate change and the apprehension of its consequences.
The Urban Environment Program at UOF
The Urban Environment Program offered at the Université de l’Ontario français addresses urban environments and the human activity that takes place in them. These topics include biodiversity and natural habitats. It is therefore perfect for addressing the sustainability issues that urban areas face on a daily basis.
In class, students conduct critical analyses of environmental problems in urban areas in order to find solutions to environmental problems in urban centers.
Student Borris Leonel Tokam Kengne explains that Earth Day is the opportunity to see the importance of this program, that will allow students to discover effective solutions for the environment in their future careers.
