Resources for Faculty

Sustainability can be incorporated into any course or topic - and it should be!

Sustainability hinges on the idea of the Triple Bottom Line: Planet, People and Prosperity. The TBL concept reminds us that real sustainability is a combination of concern for the environment, society/culture, and economics. An emphasis on only one area will lead to problems in the other two.

Depending on the course, however, different aspects of sustainability might be emphasized a little more than others. For examples, a physical science or engineering course might focus almost solely on the environment. Other disciplines might introduce major environmental issues, but focus on humans' relationship to nature, or the impacts of business activities on environmental problems. We encourage you to address all three components of the TBL in your courses.

These faculty can help you incorporate sustainability into your course.
