Sustainability Tips for the Week of October 13th - 17th:
Talking About Sustainability
As we have for the past few years, the Michael Schwartz Library Sustainability Team will be sending out some sustainability tips each week of October, Campus Sustainability Month. Here are this week's tips!
One of the most important ways that you can combat climate change is simply by talking about it! Most Americans are concerned about climate change, but that can be hidden by the fact that people are hesitant to bring it up. When we talk about the climate crisis, we can spur collective action and smarter individual choices to address this major challenge.
TALKING ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE: RECOMMENDED RESOURCES
Guide for Talking about Climate Change from the Nature Conservancy
- Recommended book: Saving Us by Katherine Hayhoe
(Katherine also has a great weekly email)
SOURCES OF FRESH IDEAS FOR DISCUSSION

What other resources do you find helpful for talking about sustainability? Feel free to share with all of us!
P.S. Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks about CSU’s new Employee Resource Group, CSU Sustainability Collective! We will be hosting a program soon that will require our campus community to weigh in on what sustainability action they think we should prioritize.
Thank you for helping to make our campus more sustainable!
