This article talks about the rise in sustainability classes on college campuses. More and more students are requesting an increase in sustainability courses across campus majors. Since this is a really big topic in all lines of business I believe there should be an increase in the different sustainability courses offered throughout the campus. There doesn't seem to be very many thoughout our campus here at Western and we are seen as a sustainable university. I believe there should be a GUR set up based on the main points of sustainability, touching a little bit of all aspects of business. This way, students will get more of an insight and hopefully choose to continue to take more and more sustainable courses as they are offered. I believe this is a big part of life now but a lot of people don't really understand what it means to be sustainable and how important it is to increase these efforts.
For our group project we decided to see how much students on the Western campus actually know about this universities efforts to go green. For the most part, the students had no clue. We are trying to build awareness and get more students involved in our office of sustainability because I know personally I had no clue we even had this here until I took this class. By building awareness throughout the campus we can hopefully change the views of the students and get their hlep in lowering our overall environmental impact. This is something that should be done at all schools across the country and eventually should be implemented into elementary, middle and high school. The more people we get involved in these efforts the greater the impact we will have and hopefully will be able to lower environmental impact across the U.S.
