Digital Campaign: Earth Day
To mark Earth Day on April 22, the content team developed ongoing web stories and social media posts to engage our students, faculty and staff on the topic of investing in our planet. Partnering with all six Faculties, Facility Services and the Office of Sustainability, our team helped bring these stories to life.
Research Feature
At McMaster, we recognize our responsibility to work together – across disciplines and faculties, locally and globally – to help create a greener, cleaner and brighter world. We developed a feature highlighting some of the innovative research happening across the university.

Sustainability report launch
We worked with our colleagues in the Office of Sustainability and Facilities to help share McMaster’s New Sustainability Report through a social media campaign to plant one tree in the McMaster carbon sink forest for every 20 views of the report.
Our Sustainability Strategy outlines our commitment in transforming our campus into a living laboratory for sustainability. ? For every 20 views of the strategy, one tree will be provided to the McMaster Carbon Sink Forest, for up to 250 trees. ? https://t.co/0Xxpi9mY9x pic.twitter.com/TF22RHowKv

Covering campus climate action
Throughout the month, our team shard articles on the Daily News website that highlighted student clubs, groups and collaborations with local organizations to tackle the UN SDGs and reduce impact on the planet. From collecting recycled tech to planting trees, our team was there to cover and help share these initiatives.
Thank you to our community members who donated their used laptops and computers to the ACCESS Tech drive! The tech will be sanitized and given to Hamiltonians in need. https://t.co/gNkI95BNFU @MacSustain #EarthDay pic.twitter.com/17n4qb5VBa

Announcing McMaster’s community fridge
Our team met up with organizers to talk about the McMaster Community Fridge, a student-led project that opened its doors on Earth Day (Friday, April 22nd). Our multimedia promotions of the fridge helped to spread the word on campus for anyone in the community to take what they need and leave what they can.
