When people hear the term "sustainability," they often think of recycling, water conservation, and energy usage. It is indeed all of those things, and so much more. There are elements of social equity, ethical economics, and resource management as well. "We," as a university, seek to become leaders in sustainability and engage the Cal Poly ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ community to look at the interconnectedness of what we do and how it fits into the global challenges that exist.

At the Office of Sustainability, our goal is to educate and help students, faculty and staff embrace sustainability in their daily lives while integrating sustainable practices into the university's planning and policies, academics, operations, student activities and community engagement.
