Sustainability at Concordia
From campus-wide recycling to adding native trees and plants to the grounds and using energy efficient appliances in Dining Services, Concordia is making strides towards environmental sustainability.
But what is environmental sustainability? It means having a responsible impact on the earth, being thoughtful stewards so resources are available for future generations. It means using air, water, land and other resources in a careful way to sustain human life indefinitely into the future, protecting the viability of all species in our ecosystems and passing on to our descendents an earth as livable as we received it from our forebearers. At Concordia, it means doing what we can within our own small footprint on the globe to protect and preserve.
Concordia is partnering with the University of Minnesota’s Center for Sustainable Building Research to explore the college’s own environmental sustainability and develop a campus-wide strategy. See what their vision is for building upon Concordia's sustainability efforts.
Here are some of the steps we’re already taking towards sustainability:
