Sustainability

"Thinking Green" and Beyond

For Rio Salado College, caring about the environment represents a lifestyle change that blends into daily routines. The college has adopted several measures to “think green” and beyond.  It is in this forward-thinking nature that we have become committed to the principles of sustainability. That is, we try to meet the needs of the present generation while taking care of the future. 

We take a broad view of sustainability, including socio-cultural, environmental and economic dynamics to make sustainability bearable, equitable, and viable. To put it simply, we aren’t blindly “going green.” We’re carefully weighing the benefits and costs in the big picture and taking an approach that makes sense.
