On Friday, March 21st, the university community enjoyed a water fair, which featured an informative stand, educational games focused on water conservation, and a food sale for all attendees. The goal of this event was to raise awareness about the importance of water as a resource and to encourage responsible habits among students.
On Saturday, March 22nd, an important informational talk on air quality was held, led by Christa Hasenkopf, Director of the Clean Air Program at the Energy Policy Institute (EPIC), University of Chicago, USA. During the session, key topics regarding the importance of maintaining a healthy environment were discussed. Additionally, an advanced air quality monitor was installed in the IAD administrative building to enhance air quality monitoring and management within the campus facilities.
Additionally, during these two days, in collaboration with the Associated Dean’s Office (DAE), reusable water bottles were distributed to students as part of an initiative to reduce single-use plastic bottles on campus. These bottles were donated by DISAGRO, a company dedicated to environmental sustainability.
The World Water Day celebration at Zamorano highlights the university’s commitment to environmental education and promoting sustainable practices within its community.
