Participation in Sustainability
Part of “thinking green” and beyond means joining with other organizations striving to make a difference.
"It is making sustainable efforts a part of your life and your daily routine."
April 2009: America's Greenest Campus (AGC) is the first nationwide contest among colleges to reduce the carbon footprints of their students, faculty, alumni and staff. Using advanced carbon tracking and reduction software from Climate Culture, America's Greenest Campus tracks the participation and carbon reductions from campuses across the country.
