Philosophy

Our mission and approach to sustainability

Mission

The Macoskey Center at SRU was created to promote a societal shift towards a regenerative partnership with ecological systems.

 

We do this because we understand:

  • Ecological systems form the basis for all planetary activity (ecological, economic, cultural)

  • Human development is increasingly changing the structure and function of these ecological systems with too little consideration of the consequences.

The Center enacts this mission in three fundamental ways:

  • Education about sustainability through events, workshops and programs;

  • Physical demonstration of sustainable technologies and systems; and

  • Supporting sustainability-focused academic initiatives and research.
