Advocates for a Sustainable Future

Advocates For A Sustainable Future (ASF) seeks to involve Gordon students directly in environmental efforts and education on and around campus by

• Promoting awareness of God's mandate for creation care and collective stewardship in order to reverse the effects of environmental degradation and support a sustainable future. 
  
• Providing resources on sustainable living and responsible lifestyle choices to the greater campus community
• Encouraging conscientious choices concerning daily behavior and use of resources.
• Organizing educational and outreach events to promote environmental awareness and dialogue.
• Exposing environmental degradation as a social justice issue, and providing solutions  and outlets for action.
• Working with local churches and communities in local creation care efforts with a vision of effecting change nationally and internationally.
  
• Collaborating with faculty, staff and students to promote and maintain a distinctly Biblical stewardship ethic for the College.

Projects and events which ASF has organized include:

• an organic community garden
• a campus farmstand
• composting in Tavilla and Bromley apartments
• environmental articles in the Tartan
• presenting and discussing The Great Warming and Black Gold, documentaries examining global warming and fair trade, respectively
