To celebrate Earth Day and offer ideas on saving the planet’s resources, the landscape architecture program opened a call to action to Aggies with two walls, black paint and a lot of chalk.

In the days leading up to Earth Day, landscape architecture students designated two canvas areas in Carver Hall – one on each floor of the building – for their fellow classmates and others to write out, draw or express their thoughts on one premise: “How would you invest in our planet?”

Professor Dallas Bretzman, a lecturer in the program, said the inspiration behind the “expression walls” came from New Orleans-based artist Candy Chang, whose participatory public artwork, “Before I Die,” has been replicated in more than 75 countries in an effort to get the public to engage in thought-provoking prompts across public spaces.
