Bard Changes Minds
The truth is—not everyone knows the extent to which human activities have negatively impacted the planet. Even for those who do, we often dump details in such a way that makes the climate crisis too overwhelming for people to take action. Media reports on the big stories, but less on the ways everyday people can positively contribute. And with more and more technology at our fingertips, people of all ages generally spend less time outside, learning about the environment and appreciating all it does for us.
Bard believes that environmental education is crucial to combatting the climate crisis and creating a sustainable world for generations to come. We believe there is an art to environmental education, cutting through the confusion, disarming disinformation, and providing information that compels people to change their behaviors.
Bard Changes The Rules
When competing interests get in the way of the greater good, we look to our government to fund nonpartisan research, write policies, and regulate for the interests of the people versus those with the most power. A classic example is how public institutions and representatives stepped up to help curb the power and influence of the private tobacco industry. Honest labeling on cigarette cartons along with outlawing smoking from public indoor spaces (among other laws) helped save lives.
Bard understands our duty in empowering climate experts and environmental activists to operate with confidence on the front lines. Translating climate science into policy is just one of the many ways Bard graduates change the rules entirely.
Bard Changes The Game
Now, more than ever, businesses are feeling the pressure to adopt sustainable practices. For those companies concerned with their legacy and longevity, the reality of natural resource depletion is cementing the need to innovate. For others, environmental regulations and consumers opting for eco-friendly brands are behind that charge. But you can’t balance profit incentives with half-baked efforts. Becoming a sustainable business requires more than hiring a Chief Sustainability Officer; it’s a whole different approach.
Bard knows that embracing sustainability means changing the game entirely. That’s why we’re teaching our MBA students to disrupt business as usual. We are fashioning a force of ecological entrepreneurs who build sustainable businesses from the ground up—businesses that answer to the triple bottom line (and not just shareholders).
