About Us
The mission of the UW Tacoma Sustainability Committee is to create and promote a sustainable university community through:
- Management of our resources by facilitating research, learning opportunities, policies, and practices that address environmental, cultural, economic, and social responsibility;
- Promotion of a culture of sustainability in which environmental, cultural, social, economic, and academic issues are inseparably interlinked and which supports the environment of the Puget Sound Region;
- Development of intellectual and fiscal resources that can be used to achieve sustainability for this and future generations.
