What is Sustainability?

Throughout the sustainability course guide we refer to courses either

as sustainability focused or sustainability related. But what does

“sustainability” really mean? The term sustainability can mean many

diff erent things; there is no one, simple defi ni on. However, for the

purpose of this project we referred to the most widely quoted defi ni on

of sustainability provided by the United Na ons. They view sustainability

as “mee ng the needs of the present without compromising the ability

of future genera ons to meet their own needs.” This compiled list of

sustainable courses represents the courses that teach concepts rela ng

to or focusing on sustainability, chosen by us, reviewed by professors

and approved by department heads.

This is just the beginning of a great resource for the students at Cal Poly Pomona. The PowerSave Green Campus team has exci ng goals for the future sustainability course guides. We are currently working with Academic Aff airs to create a course guide that provides students with a “sustainability pathway” throughout their college years. The guide would provide a path fi lled with approved sustainable courses that students could take star ng freshman year with their required general educa on courses. Theore cally, if a student were to fi nish this sustainable path throughout their stay at CPP, they would be rewarded with a cer fi cate when they graduated signifying that they are well educated in sustainability concepts. In addi on, the PowerSave Green Campus team is hoping to merge the content of the course guide with the convenience of Cal Poly Pomona’s online catalog. Students would be able to iden fy approved sustainable courses by recognizing the green leaf icons used

throughout this course guide next to the course tle on the CPP online catalog. The next sustainability course guide will be for Spring 2013.

Looking Forward...
