Hopefully these bright students will help generate the political will it will take to implement these technologies on a national level.

Portland State University doesn't even show on the radar. And yet, we have the only LEED certified greenhouses in the state; rainwater harvesting and stormwater runoff measures on every building; community gardens ON campus; green roofs on several buildings; a cafeteria that composts, uses minimal plastics, buys from local and organic growers, and recycles religiously; a local cafe that buys local and organic coffees, cooks in a cob oven on site, grows and composts on site, and encourages recycling; has dedicated over three acres on campus to wooded parkland; has almost all of its buildings LEED certified either silver or gold; AND leads the way in inter-campus recycling contests within the Oregon University System! Yeah, we just don't do enough to be considered REALLY green...

Many colleges are going the way of the environment. The problem is lack of eco-education to the students.
I remember in college, almost everybody leaves their computer and lights on all day long. Not to mention the huge support that the fast food industry gets from these lazy kids fresh out of mom's house.
At least they never do their laundry.

Does anyone have other colleges or schools in general that have a Green thing going on? If so, they each deserve recognition. Please, post them here.
Thanks. - 3 years ago

Educating the generation that will inherit environmental problems is key... We are still learning how to sustain the earth and earthlings! That's powerful...
