Thanks in particular go to the University Executive for supporting an innovative and comprehensive environmental program. Facilities and Services Directors are also thanked for maintaining the Sustainability Office with its distinctive, integrative and engaging Program. We appreciate the challenges in maintaining unique and integrated work units during times of change. The Environmental Management Planning Committee (EMPC) has provided valuable comments, suggestions, support and enthusiasm for the ANU Sustainability Program since 1997. We are grateful for these contributions. We deeply appreciate the significant and essential sustainability contributions of the ANU community. Everyone who takes active measures to reduce their environmental impact is helping with campus sustainability. Hundreds of people have gone further by encouraging environmental stewardship in others. Many have also taken up the challenge of aligning research with real-life sustainability challenges facing the ANU. The results of these ‘campus as classroom’ projects have helped to develop new ideas, to test options, and to entrench sustainability solutions.
