This essay centers on the personal sustainability behaviors of faculty as related to research, teaching, and service, as well as those behaviors that go far beyond these typical faculty responsibilities. We argue that faculty personal engagement with sustainability can lend credibility to this topic as faculty can set a good example for students, colleagues, and other stakeholders within their respective networks. We draw on the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals to suggest several ideas that faculty could adopt as part of their sustainability plans. Moreover, we offer multiple recommendations as to how faculty might leverage these experiences in the classroom and beyond.

走可持续发展之路：如果不是我们，谁？更待何时？

本文的中心是教师在研究、教学和服务方面的个人可持续性行为，以及那些远远超出这些典型教师职责的行为。我们认为，教师个人参与可持续发展可以为该主题提供可信度，因为教师可以为学生、同事和各自网络中的其他利益相关者树立良好的榜样。我们借鉴联合国 17 项可持续发展目标提出了几个想法，教师可以将其作为其可持续发展计划的一部分。此外，我们就教师如何在课堂内外利用这些经验提供了多项建议。
