Campus Sustainability Rocks!
Started only in January, 2006, AASHE now has more than 420 members, including 320 colleges and universities, according to the AASHE Bulletin. In addition, 5 new institutions have joined more than 400 others in American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment , signing in the last month. In doing so, these campuses have committed to develop comprehensive plans for achieving climate neutrality. The new campuses include Rice Univeristy, Laney College (Oakland, CA), Merritt College (Oakland, CA), College of Alameda (CA) and Trinity University (TX). All told, 415 college and university presidents and chancellors have now signed the Commitment. The fast growing success of both AASHE and the Presidents Climate Commitment show the power of the sustainability message in higher education. Green buildings will be a key part of meeting this commitment, both new, renovated and remodeled.
