Carbon Reduction
Working towards making our college Net Zero
Rooted in the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, we are dedicated to the stewardship of our "common home." We believe that environmental justice is an essential part of our faith and a direct response to God’s call to "cultivate and care for" the earth (Genesis 2:15).
We are committed to achieving Net Zero and promoting a sustainable future through practical action and education, guided by the wisdom of the Church, to hear the cry of the poor and of the earth. By reducing our carbon footprint and supporting local ecology, we hope to ensure that the resources of this world continue to sustain and minister to the needs of all people.
