CU-Boulder Named Second 'Greenest' School In The Nation By Sierra Magazine
The University of Colorado at Boulder has been
ranked the second "greenest" school in the nation by Sierra magazine in
its 2008 September/October edition. CU-Boulder was by far the
largest school in the top five, with more students than the other four
schools combined. Middlebury College in Vermont was ranked first and
the University of Vermont at Burlington, Warren Wilson College and
Evergreen State College rounded out the top five. The top schools
earned points in ten categories including policies for building,
energy, food, investment, procurement and transportation; curriculum;
environmental activism; waste management; and overall commitment to
sustainability. "The University of Colorado at Boulder has played
a formative and central role in global environmental research and
sustainability for more than a generation," said G.P. "Bud" Peterson,
chancellor of CU-Boulder. "Our students and faculty remain leaders
today just as they were 30 years ago, and we are honored to be singled
out for their vital and ongoing efforts." Read More
