WHAT IS SUSTAINABILITY?
Sustainability can be defined as "meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Increasing awareness of climate change and the possible threats that it poses have sparked public interest in sustainable development and practices.
In practical terms, sustainability is a mindset and a way of life that reduces negative impacts on the environment . There are many ways to practice sustainability as a student at WSU!

WHY SAVE ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT?
Saving energy saves money! Reducing energy consumption will reduce energy expenses in housing and on the campus as a whole, and could help contain some costs increases of attending WSU. Saving energy means reducing carbon dioxide emissions, pollution, and reducing our impact on climate change. It means cleaner air and water for us and for future generations!
