Green Campus

By Lina Karaoglanova, Research Associate,

Despite the compelling scientific evidence of abrupt climate change, legislators in the United States continue to drag their feet on initiatives that could cut emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Fortunately, environmentally conscious university and college students nationwide are looking to take matters into their own hands and improve the state of the environment by making their campuses eco-friendly. The following is a comprehensive guide to resources that will help you get your project up and running.

A forum has been created to help campuses become more environmentally friendly by linking them together and having them share their experiences. Our hope is that schools can learn from each other; you can see what works and what doesn't work, what is hard and what is (relatively) easy. Sharing success and failure stories are important on the road of learning and of action. Here you can see who is making a difference and how you can make a difference too!
