*Sustainability \(SUS\)*is the integration of environmental health, social equity, cultural vitality and economic responsibility to create and maintain thriving, diverse, resilient communities for this generation and those to come \([Seneca Sustainability Plan](https://www.senecapolytechnic.ca/content/dam/projects/seneca/about/sustainability/documents/seneca-sustainability-plan.pdf), 2021\).

Teaching sustainability allows educators to bring the real world into our courses. Every subject matter is connected to sustainability. Let’s engage students in these connections.

- Which sustainability concepts are you bringing into your course?
- Which concepts would you like to integrate in your course?

**Sustainability is for everyone**. Sustainability allows educators in all subject areas to invite multiple perspectives and encourage authentic learning experiences and meaningful discussions in the classroom.
