Sun Devils are getting ready for Earth Hour  
Hi Smiles Davis,  
Arizona State University is a model for sustainability operations and practices through four  
overarching sustainability goals: climate neutrality, zero solid and water waste, active  
engagement, and principled practice.  
We strive to reduce consumption, maximize efficiency and  
rethink problems to find solutions.  
With Earth Day being next month, ASU students are getting ready to join more than a billion people  
around the world on March 30 in an event called

Earth Hour fits into ASU's sustainability goals by creating awareness of energy waste that adds to  
our carbon footprint and utility costs.  
Here are a few other ways ASU students are active in our  
sustainability culture and commitment to being  green  all year long.
