Next Green Thing: Green Campuses
By Virginia Prescott on Tuesday, April 15, 2008.

Our search for the next green thing brought us back to college.
From the Ivy League to community colleges, in dorm rooms and lecture halls, higher ed institutions are finding ways to combat global warming. It's appropriate, given that today's undergrad will likely live to see the planet's ice caps melt.
Andrew Blum wrote about the greening of the American college campus for Metropolis, and talked to Word of Mouth host Virginia Prescott about how environmentalism on campus isn't just about recycling and saving wildlife anymore - it's about reducing the campus's immediate carbon footprint in practical ways. Virginia also spoke with Tom Kelly, director of the University Office of Sustainability and Chief Sustainability Officer at the University of New Hampshire.
