As part of this year’s Earth Day activities, the TEC team joined students and staff members to plant trees across campus. Guided by the global theme “Our Power, Our Planet,” the activity was a simple but powerful reminder of how small, consistent actions contribute to a more sustainable future.

It was encouraging to see members of our community step away from their desks and classrooms to get their hands in the soil. Moments like this reinforce the idea that sustainability doesn’t always start with big projects; sometimes it starts with just showing up and doing what you can.
