Environmental Responsibility<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Taking care of our environment is an important value at Earlham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our institutional mission of \u201cengaging the world\u201d is demonstrated by care and concern for our College surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The College\u2019s approach to sustainability is outlined in the Comprehensive Sustainability Plan, written during the 2011-2012 academic year and updated during the 2015-2016 academic year. The plan defines sustainability as such: \u201cSustainability is the continuous effort to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs by working toward a healthy environment, social justice, and a strong economy.\u201d The Comprehensive Sustainability Plan aims to make sustainability a key factor in the curriculum, community, and operations at the College. A Climate Action Plan will join the Comprehensive Sustainability Plan to help guide Earlham in its mission to be environmentally responsible. You can read the Comprehensive Sustainability Plan on the Office of Sustainability page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The College also has a Sustainability Advisory Committee (SAC). The SAC will \u201cbe charged with assisting the sustainability coordinator in determining college sustainability priorities using the sustainability plan for guidance, tracking progress on the sustainability plan, and leading sustainability planning processes in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
