At Paul Smith's, our color is green. Sustainability isn't a buzzword around here – it's something many of us work toward every day. Whether it's buying wind energy for all our electricity needs or eliminating cafeteria trays to save water and detergent, we're taking steps to make sure what we do today doesn't hurt us tomorrow.
Sustainability has been part of the culture at Paul Smith's for many years. Part of being the College of the Adirondacks means promoting healthy, sustainable development and encouraging environmental awareness. That's even part of our mission statement.
At Paul Smith's, it's about the experience. Our students have taken the lead in many of our sustainability initiatives; by thinking local, our students see change happen. And when they graduate, they're prepared to become the next generation of leaders in transitioning to a sustainable society. As a PSC student remarked during her Senior Capstone presentation: “Instead of always looking for the grass to be greener on the other side of the fence, make the grass greener where you stand.”
At Paul Smith's College, a growing coalition of faculty, staff and students are committed to the greening of our campus and expanding and deepening our sustainability related efforts. We are determined to make a difference on our home campus and contribute to the growing sustainability movement in higher education.
These Web pages have lots of information about how our students have helped introduce sustainability into campus operations, such as purchasing wind energy and strengthening our recycling programs. They also work closely with other community groups in fostering change off campus.
