Sustainability Guide for Susquehanna
Susquehanna University prides itself on providing students with a quality education based upon rich and meaningful experiences, allowing students to grow academically and to challenge their pre-existing ideals. This guide was created to provide students with information on how their actions impact the environment, with the hope that they will challenge themselves and their classmates to address the environmental impact of their lifestyles.
This guide will show SU students how to live more sustainable lifestyles, offering a wealth of information to help them live in a more environmentally-friendly manner, whether they are already the most ardent of environmentalists or have just started to question how their actions affect our planet.
Some of the issues addressed herein are most pertinent to students at Susquehanna, such as tips on surviving residence hall living while still acting sustainably. Other sections offer more general tips to make a difference in anyone’s life. It also provides resources to help students have a positive impact on the community. Sections dedicated to “Living Simply,” “Green Ideas for SU Organizations,” and “Resource Items for Living Sustainably” give ideas to motivate further research about the environmental issues they find most important.
Everyone is encouraged to read and use this guide, especially newcomers to the Susquehanna University community. Please keep in mind that attempting to incorporate all ideas at once may be overwhelming. We hope that we have provided plenty of pertinent information to allow you to help make our planet a better, more sustainable place to live.
The guide is printed on a very limited basis in an effort to reduce paper waste. An electronic version is available below. Please share this link with anyone who is interested in learning how to make changes in their life to help reduce their impact on the planet.
