PPCC is working toward becoming a leader in sustainability. We understand the importance of social, economic and environmental sustainability to the Pikes Peak Region. Our approach to sustainability will engage students to increase community development throughout the college. PPCC will start with a comprehensive recycling program, environmental education and sustainability curriculum. PPCC students have already shown a commitment to sustainability through a community garden, tree planting and the green fee. We will continue to provide a learning environment that builds understanding of sustainability and our impact on the local community. The Office of Sustainability will encourage students, faculty and staff to participate in developing a socially responsible institution and reduce our carbon footprint through various sustainability initiatives.
Create a sustainable educational institution that addresses pressing environmental, social and economic issues through community outreach, curricula and infrastructure.
Higher Education can play a vital role in developing a strong green workforce to ensure adequate supply of our natural resources for future generations. PPCC's commitment to sustainability will be prevalent in curricula that develops real-world application to enhance our future leaders.
Representatives from all levels of college will be involved to create a cohesive community working towards educating the PPCC community on sustainable practices. Sustainability will also be integrated in all aspects of the college's infrastructure; buildings, grounds, operations, planning and purchasing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribution to landfill.
