Welcome

We are a coalition of students striving to ensure the sustainability of Stanford University. Our projects reduce energy, water, and paper use, promote purchasing of organic and local foods, and greatly influence Stanford's use of natural resources in many other ways.

On this website, you can find out more about SSS the organization, the projects we undertake to make Stanford sustainable, or you can visit our media page for videos, photos, and more. Visit our blog for more personal updates. Other questions: contact us.

We also have links to other resources available, from on campus groups and materials mainly for students and other stanford affiliates, or info from off campus on general sustainability issues.

Countdown to Copenhagen

The UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen begins December 7. It's the first major international meeting on climate change since the Kyoto Protocol in 1997. 350.org set up an International Day of Climate Action in October and SSS joined in with people all over the world, showing support for action on climate change issues. Contact your Senator and urge them to support climate change legislation. Action is needed and urgent.

SSS in the Papers

A couple of SSS members recently placed articles and op-eds in both the Stanford Daily and the Stanford Review on the same day. Check out our media page for more details.
