Penn State has taken four important steps toward sustainability:

• The first step (April, 2000) was Green Destiny's release of the Penn State Indicators Report. This Report made it clear that there is a large sustainability deficit at Penn State.
  
• A second important step occurred in the Fall, 2001 when Green Destiny created an Ecological Mission for Penn State.
  
• A third important step occurred in Spring, 2001, when the Penn State Faculty Senate and Graham Spanier unanimously approved and adopted Green Destiny's Ecological Mission for Penn State.
  
• A fourth noteworthy step is occurring right now as Penn State works to finalize its first ever, Finance and Business Strategy for Environmental Stewardship.
