Project Summary:

The annual Earth Jam festival, coordinated by Laynie Madden and Campus Activities, serves as a focal point for Earth Day celebrations at Northern Arizona University. A collaboration between SUN Entertainment, the Green Fund, SSLUG, ASNAU, and STAC, the event brings together an estimated 2,000 attendees from the campus and the Flagstaff community in the North Quad. The gathering features a guest speaker, live music, dance performances, a clothing swap, and sustainability demonstrations, including a composting tutorial. To further support the event’s educational goals, the organizers provide plant-based meals to students and incorporate a rain barrel system that will be utilized at the SSLUG garden after the festival. Through these interactive activities, Earth Jam equips participants with practical methods to integrate environmental stewardship into their daily routines.
