ESP Biography

Join the Students for a Sustainable Stanford in solving the climate crisis through environmental policy. Through a town hall-style activity, we'll learn why developing effective environmental policy is so challenging. Students will play the roles of different stakeholders, ranging from community members to leaders of environmental NGOs, and argue for their stake on policy, and in the end, we'll decide on a policy that just might save our planet.

From personal choices to hobbies, diet to activism, from housing to commuting and travel, the choices we make everyday impact our environment. What does it mean to live sustainably, and how do we balance sustainable choices with satisfying ones? Through games and discussion, this class aims at exploring what choices we can make that help us achieve our own personal balances between sustainability and comfort.
