Northwest’s Commitment

Northwest recognizes its responsibility to educate students to understand the interdependencies between environmental, 社会, and economic forces. The University will economize without compromising its ability to change and adapt to future challenges. As a leader in the community, 地区, 和国家, we are obligated to operate in an economically, 社会, and environmentally responsible way, taking every opportunity to innovate and educate.

What is Sustainability?

The EPA defines Sustainability as the satisfaction of basic economic, 社会, and security needs now and in the future without undermining the natural resource base and environmental quality on which life depends.

The Sustainability Office

Established in 2011 to support Northwest’s sustainability efforts, from Energy Conservation and Alternative Fuels to 回收 and Waste Management. As part of Northwest Facility Services, we work to encourage and facilitate sustainability programs initiated by students, 教师, and staff; while assisting in the acquisition of the resources required for supplementing, 扩大, or replacing existing programs.
