How we understand sustainability
and learn to be sustainable beings
-
At the heart of these interrelated areas is the core belief that humans are not in control of nature. Sustainability is a condition that allows the sustenance of life-making by both humans and nonhumans.
-
Sustainability can be realized when we recognize and celebrate the complexity and dynamics of human-nature interactions.
-
Through research, education, practice, and global/community engagement, KASA Sustainability creates an arena where faculty, staff, and students work together and learn to be sustainable beings.
