The ESW Sustainability Summit is held with the goal of uniting like-minded individuals passionate about the environment and providing an opportunity to learn and problem-solve as a team. We hold it annually around Earth Day to celebrate our planet and explore new ways to address the problems plaguing it. 

 

This year, the Summit will be held on April 22 with the theme "Finding the Solution to Plastic Pollution". The event will be hosted in a hackathon-style format, allowing participants to gain new knowledge and apply it with the help of our presenters and mentors. The day will begin with presentations from experts and URI professors about the plastic pollution issues and solutions that exist today. Following these presentations, participants will have lunch and break into groups to design their own solutions to a specific issue with plastics. These ideas will be presented and judged with the chance to win money and a meeting with professionals to further develop your idea!
