On the last weekend of April, we as an organization hosted an event on campus entitled Earth Fest. The purpose of this event was not only to increase community awareness of SPEAK’s projects, but also to promote environmental education, sustainability, and ethical consumerism. At this festival, which hosted a local vendor fair, food trucks, and a karaoke station, Dr. Kelly Trusty from Trine University acted as one of two of our keynote speakers. Dr. Trusty is a business professor at Trine University specializing in nonprofit management, as well as a board member of the organization Friends of Pokagon. In this speech, she discusses how nature’s greatest gift to us is awe and wonder, then how we as humans can work to protect this gift.
