Diversifying Your Sources

Debate Topics

The Controversy:
 
Side 1: While sustainability at SCU does create some discussion and awareness, it is a buzzword meant to attract students and attention to campus, allowing SCU to get away with practices that are not sustainable.
 
Side 2: SCU has a real commitment to creating a truly sustainable campus and community, leaving students with a deep knowledge of sustainability and a campus that replenishes and renews the resources it uses.
 
Groups:
Systems & Consumption (Grounds, Facilities, Administration, Energy, Food, Water…)
Education & Values (Classes, Curriculum, Messages, Values…)
