Sustainability Committee
Purpose
The Sustainability Committee assesses existing practices and programs, identifies opportunities for growth, and makes recommendations on best practices. It promotes inclusive decision-making that fosters environmental accountability.
Origins
It is part of Fullerton College’s vision to accept our responsibility for the betterment of our world, to support innovation, to work together with our educational and community partners to promote and enhance the well-being of our campus and surrounding areas and to build upon a tradition of excellence.
Under this vision, Fullerton College approved the formation of the Sustainability Committee in 2018 as a PAC sub-committee. The first meetings took place in Spring 2019.
Definitions
Sustainable Practices are cultural and operational practices that are economical, equitable, and ecological and therefore promote social and ecological well-being for all generations. Environmental Sustainability is the ability to manage natural resources in a way that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.
