The mission of the Environmental Sustainability Committee is to...

 ⇒Coordinate the college’s efforts to increase environmental literacy of students, faculty, professional/technical staff, and administrators;

⇒Reduce the environmental impact of campus operations; and

⇒Create a culture of environmental stewardship at Broward College.

Sustainability is not about recycling cans and bottles.

It's about recycling our values and learning how to live differently.

It involves acting now, and it involves acting on behalf of somebody other than just oneself.
