To make the goal of sustainability a reality for Notre Dame, the University must pay careful attention to both economic and environmental factors, according to the Director of the Office of Sustainability Jim Mazurek.
“[We want to] balance environmental and economic parts as well as the short-term and long-term goals of the University,” Mazurek said.
According to Mazurek, the campaign for sustainable energy is not solely an environmental movement. He said the University’s motivations are far more strategic than to base to their policy on “doing things because they’re environmentally friendly.”
