Scott has always had great interest in sustainability and protecting our environment, and a life mission to leave a better environmentally just planet to current and future generations. As such, Scott studied Sustainability as part of his studies while earning his degrees in Geography, and more recently, he earned a certificate in Sustainability from UCLA. During his tenure as an educator, a good part of his instruction was dedicated to sustainability, environmental awareness and justice. Each school year Scott utilized three class days to show his students Al Gore's documentary 'An Inconvenient Truth', with three additional days of relevant follow-up activities which inspired his students to be better global citizens. 

He most prominent accomplishment in this work was during his tenure as a middle school educator, when he created and ran an after-school environmental/sustainability club that his students named SOLAR (Saving Our Land Against Repercussions). Despite most of his students living at or below the poverty level and having many challenges, they took great interest in his teaching about the climate crisis and sustainability. There, he left a great legacy of inspiration, relevant programs, initiatives and advocacy: including regular campus and community tree plantings, beach, canal and campus clean-ups, community outreach with local stakeholder events. On campus and in addition to tree plantings and other relevant work, a green-crew of students were tasked to go around the campus at the end of each school day, closing windows that were left open, turning off lights and equipment and collecting recyclables from bins in each classroom that our club distributed. Energy saving initiatives including smart thermostats were instituted. 

In his current role at A.M.P. Academy, he has incorporated a range of sustainable initiatives into everyday business practices and student programs—each designed to cut costs while reducing waste, consumption, and greenhouse gases. These include switching from individual plastic water bottles to reusable ones that students can refill at water stations, using public transportation for select tours instead of coach buses, and offering more plant-based snacks and meals during student lunches. The team also began combining two shorter tours into one full-day experience to minimize fuel usage, and emphasized mindful habits like turning off lights and air conditioning after classes and maintaining consistent recycling practices. Additionally, A.M.P. Academy prioritizes host family accommodations for international students—reducing the waste and energy costs of hotels or dorms—and partners with facilities that hold LEED certifications to further support sustainable operations.
