Colleges go 'green' to stretch budgets

Kind of an interesting article, makes me feel a glimmer of hope… ;-}

” “The vision … is to make sustainability the foundation of everything we do for education,” said Jen Everett, an assistant philosophy professor at Carleton who teaches an environmental ethics class. “We need to graduate students who are going to be radically different kinds of thinkers than we were trained to be.”

More than 600 schools in the United States and Canada have sustainability efforts under way, said Judy Walton, executive director of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education.

“We all feel now that the field is really exploding,” Walton said.”

Re: Colleges go 'green' to stretch budgets

I've been reading fairly often about new programs at a number of universities devoted to sustainability. I think that you should think about your local area, and universities in your area, and use that as a way to guide your search for information.

Here's a page from the organization mentioned in that now-defunct CNN link that has some lists of info.
