Description
Research Project
What Should Other Students Know About Sustainability?
- Sustainability is defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
- The Learning for a Sustainable Future organization further clarifies by saying that a sustainable future is one in which a healthy environment, economic prosperity, and social justice are pursued simultaneously to ensure present and future generations’ well-being and quality of life.
- You will choose a question or problem in sustainability, and you will have only a couple of weeks to complete all the necessary components of this project. Your task will be to research and present your findings in both an online presentation and a short research essay. During the course of your research, you should become an expert on your topic.

Online Research
- The CSM Library Journal Database is your best option for credible sources.
- You need at least three sources from our library database from peer-reviewed journals.
- The system used to find journal articles is called SMCCD OneSearch, and it requires signing in with your SMCCD campus credentials.
- Please see this OneSearch LibGuide if you have additional questions.
- No WIKIPEDIA is allowed as a source! Credible Internet sources often end in .gov or .edu.
