Sustainability at 快活app

At 快活app, we create real change through a campus-wide commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. To us, sustainability involves taking a holistic look at environmental, economic, and social factors affecting our communities, the historical systems we are working to change, and creating a world where ecosystems and societies can thrive. It's about reducing energy, water, and material waste, lifting up and creating opportunity for marginalized communities, and building a framework that uses social justice as a lens through which we improve our environment.
