Since I posted the story yesterday about Lafayette's Jennifer Bell and her campus sustainability initiatives, I've seen stories about a quite a few colleges that are on the same track. UNH has some great initiatives. Knox College in Illinois has a Sustainability Task Force, comprised of students, faculty and lead by the president of the college.
Biologist Sandra Steingraber recently spoke at Knox and she addressed how universities can make a difference in how food is grown, used and distributed. Colleges can help build a sustainable society, she says.
Check out how colleges across the U.S. rate on their "Sustainability Report Card." My alma mater, Amherst College received a B+.
