Everybody on campus plays a part in our sustainability. We each can strive to make a difference in our own areas of campus. Leading the way are a few groups of staff members who go above and beyond to incorporate sustainability into the way they work here at Cornell. Take a look at the things that they're doing and think about how sustainability might apply in your department. Don't hesitate to get in touch with these people, and get involved!
