The Academy Goes Green

“And He has set within it mountains standing firm, and blessed it, and ordained in it its diverse sustenance in four days, alike for all that seek.” (Quran 41:10)

God’s wisdom has ordained stewardship (khilafa) on the earth to human beings. Man has been granted stewardship to manage the earth in accordance with the purposes intended by its Creator; to utilize it for his own benefit and the benefit of other created beings, and for the fulfillment of his interests and of theirs.  He is thus entrusted with its maintenance and care, and must use it as a trustee, within the limits dictated by his trust.

Inspired by these words of wisdom from the Prophet (PBUH), the Academy is going green! Around campus students and staff will see large blue refuse canisters that are to be used exclusively for all things recyclable. Plastic, paper, and cardboard will now be recycled; recycling will be collected simultaneously with non-recyclable items by the City of Cooper City.

All students and members of the Academy are asked to be cognizant of what they place in the trash and try to reduce, reuse, and recycle as much as possible.
