Marin Academy Eco-Council

Statement of Purpose

September 29, 2005

Marin Academy’s Eco-Council promotes a sustainable way of life within our school and neighboring communities. As we help to build and nurture our community and those around us, we encourage and engage in ecologically mindful practices that do not interfere with nature’s inherent ability to sustain life.

Eco-Council members include faculty, staff, students, parents, trustees, and experts in the fields of ecology, energy, and gardening. We act as a vehicle for a deeply felt commitment on the part of the broader MA community to make our school’s day-to-day practices consistent with the values of ecological mindfulness. We function as a leadership council, striving to educate ourselves and our community in order to increase our knowledge and raise our consciousness regarding our interdependent relationships with nature. The Eco-Council provides an avenue for our community to address real problems through tangible experience in this place where we live, learn, work, and play.
