Each Energy and Society (Chem 344) group is required to host an Earth Day table and advertise for the event. The Chem 344 groups spend nearly the entire semester preparing for Earth Day. Chem 344 groups create educational games, activities, posters and other educational materials. They budget for and purchase sustainable prizes to hand out to student participants. Gina Matibag works hard to setup Earth Day, such as booking outside vendors and securing the location. Free food is typically provided after participants receive a stamp from all of the Chem 344 tables. Stamps are only given if the educational activities are completed at each table. Community members are invited and encourage to attend. Over 400 individuals attended Earth Day in 2018. Funding for Earth Day comes from the IRA fund.
