Sustainability at Pomona College |
| |
With the world’s limited resources, structuring an
intelligent relationship with the environment is of great
importance. Southern California, like much of the West, has
tenuous relationship with both its water and power
resources. Conducting our institution with mindfulness to
these concerns is central to Pomona’s values and essential
to insure the longevity of Pomona’s traditions. One of the
important ways in which Pomona’s community will bear its
riches in trust for mankind will be not to misuse our
wealth, but to employ it prudently, effectively, and
efficiently. Sustainability is not just about the
environment. It is about seeking out and taking advantage of
decisions that positively affect the future condition of our
economy, our society, and our environment, particularly the
interconnections between those three areas. This philosophy
has resonance for us, not just after departing Pomona but
for our community within Pomona as well. In many respects,
this philosophy begins with our campus, its buildings and
grounds and the forms that they give to our everyday life.
It also comes through in our student activities and
educational opportunities. As the world becomes more
conscious of its duty to be a responsible steward of the
environment, Pomona College, as a premier institution,
carries both the privilege and responsibility to forge and
define a new relationship with the environment.
