As a charter signatory of the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment, SUNY Cortland is committed to reducing energy use, ending our contribution to the destruction of the environment and the social injustice caused by uncontrolled climate change.
We’ve taken the carbon challenge, gathered local/global resources and started programs such as community bikes, carpooling and recycling efforts that are guided by our Carbon Neutrality Committee. We also hold a sustainabilty week where you can participate in a community clean up or even learn how to build a wind turbine. See how you can get involved—view the schedule of events for the 2012 Sustainability Week.
This is a challenge of unprecedented size and scope. It means defining and developing a sustainable and just world for all of humanity. But like all grand commitments, it starts at home and grows little by little, one step at a time.
