Western’s Office of Sustainability is conducting a survey to identify all the sustainability initiatives and endeavors happening across campus, from student clubs, to staff initiatives, and faculty research, as well as what is being done in our community. So that we can better connect people and resources, communicate and share the great work being accomplished in alignment with the Sustainability Action Plan, and create a stronger sustainability community, we invite you to take a few minutes to complete this short survey. This survey will remain open until Friday, April 20. Please direct any questions to Susanna Hamilton at 360-650-4357 or susanna.hamilton@wwu.edu. Thank you for helping us celebrate this incredible work and inspiring others to engage.
We work to integrate sustainability into Western's culture, academics and student life while utilizing student energies for realization of sustainability initiatives.
We provide a liaison to sustainability initiatives on campuses regionally and nationally, and build connections between Western and the greater Bellingham community.
Our goals for Western include the following:
To develop a unified set of sustainability metrics and indicators with the purpose of building awareness and understanding on campus.
To conduct a baseline assessment of present efforts at Western.
To create a vision and strategic plan that outlines steps needed for Western to lead in sustainable practices using our natural, financial and human resources.
To advise on effective step-by-step implementation so our respective academic programs and operations can become leaders by example through their efforts.
Earth Day is an opportunity to give back to the planet we all call home. There are several outdoor activities happening in Whatcom County to show some love to the earth and the community.
