UM: Sustainability

UM’s University Record publishes a Q&A with three people on campus who are active in sustainability efforts: Terry Alexander, executive director for the Office of Campus Sustainability; Don Scavia, a UM professor, special counsel to the president for sustainability, and director of the Graham Environmental Sustainability Institute; and Ryan Smith of the Student Sustainability Initiative. Says Scavia: “Research is ultimately going to be the engine that moves us forward on sustainability. … [Research endeavors], whether it’s through technology, the natural resources or social sciences, are going to be critical for really understanding how we need to move forward.” [Source]
