Higher (Green) Education
I’m a subscriber to Ideal Bite, supplier of fun, free eco-living tips with a “sassier shade of green”. This week they’re running a Back to School series that is loaded with good ideas for students of all ages. Today’s tip “Biter U.” is all about eco-progressive green colleges from recycling to green buildings.
So if you consider greenness part of a university’s appeal I highly recommend checking out “Biter U.” for resources on where to find the greenest higher education.
Even if you’re not planning to attend, college campuses are great places to check out some of the most innovative green buildings around. Harvard has 23 US Green Build Council LEED™ (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified or registered buildings. Cornell University has its fair share as well including the Alice H. Cook House, the first certified green residence hall in New York State.
These and other campuses are filled with stunning green building structures so if your pulse quickens (as mine does) at the sight of a solar array or the thought of naturally daylit dorms consider a field trip to an eco-friendly campus nearby. Pick a school and search their website - you’ll likely to be pleasantly surprised at your local U’s green initiatives.
