Sustainable Campus


Group Description:


We are a student group seeking a deeper, radical, and empathetic understanding of the ecosocial crisis to explore ways in which we can take care of the planet that we are, from all fields of study, and generate systemic and tangible changes.


Mission:


To provide the community with tools to take care of the planet we are, enabling them to generate concrete actions regarding the ecological crisis in their personal, professional, and collective lives.


To educate about sustainability and its connections with the systems of oppression that generate the planetary crisis to avoid replicating any kind of oppression in the path of reparations.


To implement inclusive projects and proposals to accelerate the transition to a sustainable society where individuals, communities, businesses, and institutions develop within the limits of the planet that we are.


Vision:


To positively influence campus decisions to reduce the negative impact on the planet within the urgent framework of the planetary crisis.


To create alliances with other campuses to take actions that address environmental issues at their root, reflecting this in the student body and the community.


To generate intermediary points that allow students to take the initiative to create the systemic and intersectional solutions we need.
