Sustainability Program Coordinator

I look at sustainability in the lens of sustainable development; the balance of achieving economic growth while protecting the environment and achieving equitable distribution of resources.

Madison Reichhold
Student Staff

Sustainability, to me, is learning from our environment and integrating our way of life with that of the planet's natural processes for the care of every life on Earth

Gideon Kinzie Hawver
Student Staff

I see sustainability as a consequence of being mindful about our impact on the world, both as individuals and as a society. Sustainability is the act living in a way that cooperates with the limits of our planet's natural resources, our environment, and the living things we share them with.

Kylie Chow
Student Staff

Sustainability, to me, means protecting our environment to the best of our capabilities. Small changes to our on lives can have a great impact on the world.

Chelsea Lee
Graduate Student Staff

Achieving sustainability is to account for the environmental, social, and economic impacts of decisions and actions as they affect several generations.

Lissete Ochoa
Student Staff
To me, Sustainability means enough for everyone. To create and maintain the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony to support present and future generations

Nikkie Herzog
Digital Communications Student Staff

Sustainability to me means respecting nature and what it gives us, giving back to nature instead of always taking from it. Revitalizing the world for humans and animals who come after us.

Alondra Martinez
Carbon Neutrality Initiative (CNI) Fellow

To me, sustainability means using the least amount of resources to meet your needs without compromising the future generation and reducing environmental damage.
