Sustainability? The word seems a little
vague – who gets to define it?The
simple answer is: We work together to
define it.
- First, we calculate what it
takes to run our 25,000-member
UAlbany community (fuel, water,
food, air, etc.), including the
waste we generate.
- Next, we find ways to lower
consumption, protect environmental
resources, and reduce waste, with
emphasis on using those brains that
got us together here in the first
place. Along the way we count up the
benefits that accrue to our health
and financial well-being.
- Then, we study the future. We
help prepare a world more to our
liking, in exchange for taking
responsibility for our actions and
their consequences.

launched by the task force and its
committees to help us be better stewards
of our environmental resources. |
