Sustainability Guide for the Western Community
As detailed in Western's 2021 Strategic Plan, Towards Western at 150, sustainability is an imperative at Western. The Sustainability Guide for the Western Community was put together by graduate students from the 2021 Masters of Environment and Sustainability class. This guide provides tangible and accessible sustainable lifestyle recommendations to Western students, staff, and faculty. The guide is offered in two formats:
- Detailed Guide
- Pocket Brochure (on-campus) and (off-campus)
This guide works to elevate and improve the culture of sustainability on Western's campus. The Sustainability Guide for the Western Community amplifies the idea 'think globally, act locally,' as it strives to inspire everyone to rethink sustainability in their lives and across campus. Everyone in the Western community is invited to explore this guide to learn more about the ways they can incorporate sustainable lifestyle choices on- and off-campus!
