Sustainability can be simple

The work of building a sustainable environment and neighborhood is something that should start close to home. It goes beyond just recycling in some ways and can be as simple as picking up trash in your neighborhood or on campus. Taking pride in your surroundings helps you to take pride to a global level and work to take care of our earth.

Pacific University is a beautiful campus. One that all students, faculty and staff should and do take pride in. Helping keep it beautiful is everyone's responsibility. Not littering is a start, picking up litter as you see it is another. Joining in on the orientation event every August, and "Sprucing Up the Grove, is yet another. There are also several groups on campus that have "Adopt A Road" programs and they get out and help keep our roads in and out of Forest Grove looking good. So join them or get your own group together.

So as you walk on Pacific's campus, whether it be the Forest Grove, Hillsboro, Portland or Eugene site, take pride and help keep our environment looking its best. Do your part, it is up to all of us.
