Sustainability is defined as: "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Environmental sustainability is broad and has intersections with many areas, including academics, food, energy, waste, transportation, water, and community engagement.
At CSU San Bernardino, being sustainable means reducing waste, using water responsibly, being energy efficient, using sustainable transportation, promoting green jobs, and much more.
