Sustainability Principle
Everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment. Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony, that permit fulfilling the social, economic and other requirements of present and future generations.
http://www.epa.gov/sustainability/basicinfo.htm.
Balancing social, economic, and environmental systems, to benefit and protect our future can be achieved by considering the effects of our decisions, purchases, plans, and practices.

School Energy and Recycling Team
The mission of the School Energy and Recycling Team (SERT) program is to significantly reduce energy and water consumption and increase recycling rates system wide through:
• sustainability training and education;• incentives, recognition, and award programs for conservation;• accessible energy, water, and recycling data;• individual sustainability programs for energy and environmental investigation-based learning opportunities; and • conservation operations and procedures.

School Energy and Recycling Team (SERT)—MCPS recognizes that significant energy savings can be achieved when school-based staff and students engage in responsible energy behavior.
In our schools:
Engaging Occupants
The SERT program educates and supports the efforts of school-based teams in all schools to reduce energy consumption and increase recycling.
