If you or someone you know is going (back) to School, it would be worth considering the schools sustainability practices. Why? Because in the long run, the greenest campuses will be the most profitable and the others will incur greater costs. For example its important to know if your campuse will be able to survive the next unexpected flood, or the next earthquake or the next hurricane, or the next drought or the next epidemic. Those are all likely scenarios as the earth's climate changes. If a campus is already geared up to say get electricity from onsite solar generators or draws from a grid that uses renewable energy, there is less risk of an extended outage when oil based energy sources go down!
There are several noteworthy surveys of the greenest campuses out there. I will be adding and updating the list below as I find new stuff. So consider subscribing/following this blog/blog post to stay up to date when the content changes.
