What is the Sustainability Task Force?
Evergreen’s President and Vice Presidents created the Sustainability Task Force in the Fall of 2005 following three summers of faculty-initiated sustainability institutes. The Task Force is a combination of staff, faculty, and students whose original purpose was to write a brand new section on sustainability for the college’s five-year strategic plan. Even though Evergreen is a national leader in advancing sustainability on campus, we still have a long way to go before sustainability is reached. The Sustainability Task Force will play an important role in Evergreen’s long-term effort to become a sustainable college.
