Mission Statement
Point Loma Nazarene University is committed to stewardship of resources at all levels. As we strive to teach, shape, and send our students from the academic world to the professional world, we equip them with the knowledge of stewardship through their participation in the on-campus recycling program. PLNU believes that a program alone cannot create change. Change happens when people participate in a program they believe in. We set policy goals that incorporate the idea that people and programs are inter-dependant. Shaping our students into avid stewards, while providing programs for them to participate in, is our primary environmental policy. Additionally, we are committed to leadership of the community by incorporating a high level of conservation and environmental concern in all University endeavors. Specifically, this holistic approach includes sustainability in construction of new buildings and in purchasing of new equipment. The program incorporates an increased usage of reusable items, and minimizes the use of disposables, and developes campus wide purchasing procedures that specify materials made from recycled products whenever and wherever possible. Finally, the last facet of the program seeks new ways to reduce our waste stream contributions to minimum levels.
Your soul needs the wild- Luke 5:16
