Improved Essays
It is impossible for the youth to escape Earth’s contaminated environment, which will be their harsh reality for decades to come. Maintaining an eco-friendly lifestyle is nearly impossible in today’s world due to society’s constant industrialization and innovations. However, it is possible to significantly reduce the level of mistreatment and strain induced on Canada’s ecosystems. Within the St. Brother Andre community there is no active club protecting the environment for future years even though as Catholics we are called to protect God’s creation.

    Introduction It was my Junior year of high school, in both my AP Seminar and French classes we had been discussing air quality issues in Salt Lake City, Utah. However, as most students became annoyed at the constant discussion of these issues I became inclined to gain extensive knowledge pertaining to the ongoing air quality issues that were constantly affecting me. I became interested in this topic and the idea that maybe somehow I could make a difference. The air quality in Utah is extremely bad due to the increasing amount of pollution being emitted into the air. Utah is famous for its oil companies and we are one of the top ten oil producers which is one of the biggest reasons that the air quality is, in fact, so bad.…

    In David Newport’s article, “Campus Sustainability: It’s About People”, he discusses the issues within many colleges’ approaches to sustainability. Newport notes that sustainability is often broken up into three sections: “environmental protection, fiscal equity, and social justice.” (239) However, he points out that the last aspect of sustainability, social justice, is largely ignored in favor of more “eco-centric” and economic programs that will benefit a college in terms of reputation or finances. According to Newport, this is a fatal mistake. He asserts that “for campus sustainability to escape a death sentence, we must put people first.”…

While these environmental changes are impressive, the college can do better when it comes to setting a positive example for its students and the community. Imagine a community garden at CSCC that displays natural beauty while also demonstrating the school’s commitment to improving the environment. Such a garden would be a learning laboratory for students while serving as a benchmark for other community initiatives. Because the garden would consist of vegetables and herbs, it would serve as a food source and, therefore, present students with the opportunity to to be part of the…
