ANSWER: Global climate change, extreme weather and how to sustain Planet Earth for our and future generations. In 2009 the Virginia Community College System Chancellor’s Task Force on Environmental Sustainability recommended an Environmental Sustainability Scholars Program, whereby students who take 15 credit hours of formally identified coursework related to environmental issues would earn an Environmental Sustainability Scholar designation on their diplomas. J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College uses the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development definition of sustainable development as “development (economic, political, and social) that meets the needs of the present without comprising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs”
