Walk the Talk.

I went to Taylor University from 1990-1994. I feel that the science department (especially the biology and environmental science departments) walked the walk, but we didn't talk about it that much. I believe Taylor had a recycling program, but it wasn't the main focus. The campus overall didn't focus on the environment like many campuses do today. It just wasn't something people talked about. Honestly, students there were more concerned about mission trips than they were about the environment. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong. It has been a long time. Sustainability wasn't a word used at Taylor. I tried looking on Taylor's website to see if there was a policy concerning the environment. I found this quote, "The School's academic programs actively explore the many facets of Creation, and seek to more fully understand the ways in which God our Creator is revealed in Creation." Is this walking the talk? I guess so...if you are into that sort of thing. I wanted something a little more rounded. What I got was a debate on evolution vs. creationism rather than how you pair stewardship with sustainability. I would not be surprised if some faculty believed that the oil spill was in God's plan. Whew. I have a hard time thinking about my undergrad days as you can see.
