There are several aspects to the role of Sustainability Coordinator. The coordinator is responsible for organizing and documenting the Student Sustainability Council (SSC) meetings, as well as distributing the minutes and agenda for these meetings. It is also the coordinator’s duty to work with the administration to innovate and improve sustainable practices on campus. The Sustainability Coordinator must sit on the University Council on Sustainability and be involved in a working group on the council. It is also the Sustainability Coordinator’s job to develop a clear outline of short and long-term goals for SA Sustainability along with a plan for completion of these goals. Lastly, the Sustainability Coordinator should provide resources for students and groups to become more sustainable in their lifestyle and their events.
Reduce and Reuse…before you Recycle!
Sustainability Tip #15: In class try and use refillable binders or folders to prevent wasted pages in spiral notebooks and always take notes on both sides of the paper.
