Office of Sustainability

What if we told you that you can actually make a difference? That every small step you take to live a more sustainable and environmentally friendly life can add up to major improvements in the world around us? Whether it's as small as skipping the straw or as major as starting restoration projects for wildlife, you can make a change for a better, more sustainable world for future generations. The Office of Sustainability at Indiana University Kokomo is all about working together to make our campus and our region a better place for all.

What is sustainability? Why is it important?

Sustainability follows standards that do not deplete our natural resources and that maintain ecological balance.

The efforts towards sustainability encompass different aspects of the human experience in broad topics that range from business to environmental issues. These vary in degree and can be implemented both at home and on a global scale.

The goal is to preserve as many of our resources as possible for future generations and to help create a more hopeful and healthy tomorrow.

More detailed information can be found on this website explaining how you can join our effort and contribute to this great initiative!

Though sustainability is most often associated with natural resources, it also encompasses human society, cultural heritage, ideas, values, and ethics. Universities play a vital role in fostering the interdisciplinary thinking that is essential in defining and developing a responsible relationship between humans and the natural world.
