Simplifying Christmas – Kentucky State University

Jennifer Hubbard-Sanchez, state specialist for sustainable systems at Kentucky State University’s College of Agriculture, Food Science, and Sustainable Systems, discusses manners in which we can make our holiday shopping experiences less costly and better for the environment.

As people get into the spirit of gift giving, Kentucky State University wants shoppers to learn new ways to save money and make their shopping experiences more sustainable.

Kentucky State University’s College of Agriculture, Food Science, and Sustainable Systems is committed to providing quality environmental education to our students, campus and local communities, residents of Kentucky, and beyond. The main focus of our programs is the importance of preserving the quality of our environment and creating meaningful links between human impacts and environmental systems.

From the natural resources we consume daily, the energy we use, the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink, understanding our dependence and impacts on the natural world is imperative to ensuring a sustainable future for us all. Through quality environmental education opportunities, we promote a greater understanding and awareness of environmental issues and a stronger sense of place, leading to more positive attitudes about the environment and resulting in enhanced stewardship of Earth’s resources.
