The Student Sustainability Service.

SUSTAIN SU, formerly known as ECOS, strives to increase student environmental awareness and leadership, to educate and involve the community and to strengthen the environmental networks of University students, faculty and administration.

As a result of the 2006 ECOS Development Task Force, we have adopted the following Mission Statement:

We are the Students’ Union’s sustainability office. We maintain a vision that it is possible to create a world characterized by ecological integrity and environmental and social accountability. We work to involve students in a multi-lateral approach to campus sustainability.

• We educate and involve the campus community regarding the ecological, social and economic aspects of sustainability.
• We research and recommend environmental and social policies to the Students' Union Executive, which strive to make the Students' Union a model of sustainability.
• We provide resources to the campus community which will network and assist community members to be leaders in sustainability.

Join our mailing list

SUSTAIN SU would like to keep you posted on events and news related to the University of Alberta and our activities.

Our mailing list consists of two types of e-mails:

• Information e-mails and sustainability updates: includes updates of what ECOS is currently working on, and contains information about events, issues, activities and opportunities within the larger community—everything from speaking events to job opportunities to scholarships. We will, however, forewarn you that these tend to be excessively long emails; there's really that much going on in the community!
• News updates: contains an assortment of recent news items related to sustainability. The news pieces are taken from major Canadian newspapers, as well as alternative journals and sources. If you would like to receive occasional email notifications from Sustain SU, please visit http://asimov.su.ualberta.ca/mailman/listinfo/sustain.newsletter and submit your email address.

Please also send us your comments regarding campus sustainability issues, what you think of the website, our projects or the emails you're receiving from us. Your input is really important to making Sustain SU something University students want to be involved in.
