What structure do you see sustainability at SSMU taking?

Over the past year, sustainability at SSMU has stagnated, partly due to the loss of the Sustainability Coordinator position. Currently, there is a committee that is working on a plan for the future of sustainability of SSMU. While they have been working on this issue, they have not made much progress in terms of recommendations for the future. They have yet to make a concrete recommendation regarding where to go from this current situation - I see this as a failure which must be addressed. Sustainability needs to be focused around the long-term; I see two main routes that can be taken in order to ensure this. The first option would be to create another position similar to the sustainability coordinator, who would lead discussions centered on sustainability at SSMU, and be responsible for keeping the long-term focus at the forefront. The second option would be a committee that the sustainability oriented positions all sit on. Their first task would be developing guidelines to be used when making decisions. This would allow for a long-term vision of sustainability of SSMU so that when positions like the President, Green Building Coordinator, Green Events Coordinator, and the Environment Commissioner turn over from year to year, they always have long-term plans in mind, even while they work on short-term projects during the their term.
