Free Event at El Centro West Campus Continues Series of Learning Events from EarthX and the Dallas County Community College District

The format will include several five-minute lightning talks, which will be followed by roundtable discussions with the featured experts.  

“EarthxSustainableU is teaching practical solutions and ideas that everyone can consider and implement,” said Georgeann Moss, Executive Administrator, Sustainability Outreach & Initiatives for DCCCD. “DCCCD houses a trove of students, teachers, community leaders, influencers, and activists who we want to first teach about sustainability, and secondly inspire to action.”
