When one considers sustainability as a moral action, there are equally complex realities at hand--climate change, resource depletion, water and land rights. One author describes this broad sense of sustainability as "the connection of specific social and environmental problems to the functioning of human and ecological systems" (Jenkins, 2011). Yet one of the most commonly accepted definitions of sustainability argues simply that it is "the ability to meet the needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs." The focus of the conversation on sustainability as moral action is situated in a higher education and student affairs context and encourages action through the broad application of ideas and resources for social change. This expanded definition of sustainability includes a holistic integration of social and economic equity along with an environmental focus. This article operationalizes "sustainability" using the triple bottom line of environmental, social, and economic sustainability as well as ways moral action is inherently present in a variety of sustainability practices.
