The greenest colleges in America
College campuses have always been havens for progressive thought, especially when it comes to environmental concerns and global change. It seems simple recycling programs just aren't enough anymore; college students and faculty are doing more than ever to promote green living.You can review the list of the Top 12 Greenest Colleges in America to see if your school, or a school near you is featured. Some highlights of this list include the pioneer of carbon-neutral colleges, one with its own 13-acre organic farm used to fund student projects, the increased use of alternative-energy campus vehicles, motion-detectors on classroom lights, solar panels installed on campus buildings, hydropower and windpower.
I hope with the inclusion of such high-profile Ivy League schools as Harvard and Yale on this list, it will inspire many other college campuses to go green.
