Creation Care Week

Creation Care Week includes a variety of events and displays on the theme of responsible care of our natural resources – that is, opportunities for listening, reading, speaking and acting now to bequeath the planet to the next generation as we found it or better. 

Highlights of the week include: Brewed Awakening with Jim Ball, a Sustainability Fair, and Farmer's Market Top Chef Cook-Off. 

This will be the seventh annual Creation Care Week and this year brings the return of the weeks favorite events along with some new and exciting features. The popular Green Fair will be held once again at the Campus Mall on Monday, September 12, 10 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Exhibit tables will be presented by a number of governmental, nongovernmental and advocacy groups for the purpose of educating the PLNU community on environmental needs, on the work of the various organizations, and on opportunities for volunteer service.
