10 of the greenest colleges in America

gaining ground on stupid on every front, cool....!!!

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...

The University of New Hampshire definately needs to be on this list.

Why is it not surprising that Evergreen is on that list?

Awww, my school isn't green, lol.

YEAH!!! GO BERKELEY!!! Bahahhaa our organic food ^^

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.

Pitzer college has the greenest dorms

hopefully other schools can follow this example

Evergreen rocks! I'll be going there in a few years.

Go figure, California schools are all over that shit!

Woo, go Evergreen! :D

I wonder if they've started rebuilding the CAB building yet.

I have a friend at Evergreen and I'm going to UCSC :)

BERKELEY!!! USC could and should destroy them... In a green way.

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.

We'll have to start calling them the Duke Green Devils...

Yay, Oberlin! What can I say? I'm biased.

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