Mission
Sustainability has become one of the most pressing issues of our time—and what underscores its importance is the growing impact of environmental degradation on our planet. Despite the convenience of disposable products and how they have become ingrained in our daily routines, there is an urgent need to shift towards more sustainable practices. The overuse of short-lived goods leads to significant ecological problems that cannot be ignored. Here, at the Net Impact chapter of York University, our mission is to empower students to become leaders in sustainable business practices by promoting the design and use of durable, long-lasting products. We aim to challenge the prevailing culture of disposability and advocate for responsible consumption. Through education, collaboration, and action, we strive to inspire our community to embrace practices that prioritize environmental well-being and foster sustainable innovation.
