Sorry we've been a little quiet lately. To ease you back, here's a piece done by one of our members at the Chronicle of Higher Education about using the university's progress towards sustainability as a teaching tool:

"The mission of colleges and universities is to prepare students for the world they’re entering, and to do so, they need to offer students more practical experience. But students interested in sustainability are often limited to joining a recycling club or making posters about the merits of biking. Good efforts, to be sure, but the challenges of sustainability span the gamut. Students interested in environmental law, green building, water conservation, xeriscaping, habitat protection, fair trade, education, sustainable agriculture, urban planning, business, and a host of others could all find ways to be involved in the process of making a college sustainable."
