Eco-Calendar by HSE University

The HSE Art and Design School and the Meridian of Kindness Fund have released a 2020 eco-calendar. The calendar indicates important dates related to environmental protection and includes a check list of ways you can help make the planet cleaner.

The calendar is printed on recycled paper. It features fragments of the painting, The Garden of Earthly Delights, by Hieronymus Bosch.

You can pick up a copy of the calendar any day of the week from 11 am to 7 pm at 11 Pokrovsky Boulevard, Room M407.
