The Ecosystem Science and Sustainability Initiative
 The Ecosystem Science and Sustainability Initiative, made possible by a grant from the Archibald Bush Foundation, explores the potential for synergy between current socioeconomic systems and environmental interests. In creating an intellectual community that stresses interdisciplinary cooperation, the Initiative seeks to bring ecological principles into our everyday lives and work, hoping to sustain the livelihoods of the public and the environment. In order to do so, the Initiative has developed a Sustainability Studies minor, offers outreach programs to educate teachers and journalists on sustainable issues, and collaborates with a number of University organizations on various research projects, including formulating a Statewide Conservation and Preservation Plan.
