A core conviction that should inform service-learning and community engagement (SLCE) courses is that we cannot have thriving human communities, robust democratic citizenship, and authentic community/civic engagement when the ecological systems upon which all life depends, now and in the future, are ignored and ruined. When institutions of higher education use sustainability as an organizing tenet for SLCE, a new alliance can occur between SLCE and a sister discipline: sustainability in higher education (SHE). Harnessing the synergy from this collaboration can help students and faculty form the attitudes, goals, and learning outcomes sought by both disciplines in creative ways. When SLCE seriously attends to ecological sustainability, institutions of higher education can better contribute to the cultivation of place-engaged, ecologically literate, planetary citizens who value eco-social justice and generate new partnerships to achieve this goal.
