This is Sam. Sam is a student at Boston College who feels sad when he doesn't know how to recycle his half-eaten New England classic, who wishes he remembered to turn off his dorm lights when he wasn't using them, and who knows he should take shorter showers to conserve water, but just can't bring himself to change. Sam is so sick of this guilt, that he has decided to become sustainable.

Sustainable Sam wants to make Boston College an environmentally just community. He believes the first step in this mission is to make a change, himself. Before structural change, comes behavioral change. Become a "Sustainable Sam" by signing this pledge to tailor your actions toward sustainability. Show Boston College the demand for change exists so that, ultimately institutional changes can be made. We hope, one day, Boston College will properly manage food waste via compost and recycling, be green-house gas emission free, renewable energy reliant, sustainable transportation friendly, cultivators of biodiversity, and committed to spreading awareness for environmental responsibility.
