In an attempt to move from the general to more specific, the PSGEC also presented a Statement of Environmental Goals which was passed by the Staff Forum on January 29, 1998. They read:

  1. We will strive within the limits of practical considerations to conserve energy and resources, reduce waste, purchase environmentally friendly products, and minimize our adverse impact on the surrounding environment.
  2. We will recognize and promote efforts to increase a deep, aesthetic, spiritually-based awareness of our connection to the environment among the members of this and the larger community.
  3. We will promote sound environmental citizenship by consciously supporting programs and behaviors that display a willingness to sacrifice personal interests and conveniences for a larger ecological integrity.
  4. We will promote sound institutional practices which balance environmental concerns with the long-term well-being of the college.
