Sustainability LinksWelcomeThe CCU Campus and Community Sustainability Initiative was established in 2005 to transform Coastal Carolina University into an environmentally sustainable university, to incorporate sustainability into the curriculum, and to serve as a resource on sustainability to Horry and Georgetown counties. Sustainability provides a healthier environment in which to learn, work, and live; saves resources through water, energy, and material conservation associated with ecological design and best management practices; conserves biodiversity; enhances learning; and lessens human impact on the environment. Sustainability also promotes social and economic justice. The Initiative’s mission will be accomplished through implementing curricular and extracurricular activities and promoting environmentally-sound practices in all areas of institutional operations, including planning, purchasing, maintenance, landscaping, transportation, dining, waste management, construction, and renovation. The Initiative will also share its knowledge with the community through outreach efforts that include partnerships, consulting, workshops, and mentoring. |
