Higher, Greener Education
As a college graduate, I understand the stress of finding THE SCHOOL. It is tough to choose among hundreds of schools which one will suit your academic, housing and extracurricular needs. Now add in environmentally friendly to your already growing lists of “must-haves.”
It is a growing trend among high school seniors to make their school decisions based on their environmental leanings. But how do you know which school is green? How will you be able to tell if the campus is LEED certified? And which school recycles and which school has clean-up days? Does the campus hold regular eco lectures?
Now KIWI has the perfect resource for parents and students looking to broaden their academic, as well as their eco horizons. The KIWI Green College Report is a list of the 50 greenest colleges and universities in the United States. Also, there is no hierarchy (meaning there is no number 1 green school) to KIWI’s list, so each school is as eco-friendly as the next.
Also KIWI has featured each of the schools that signed American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment. 300 Presidents of various colleges and universities signed this pledge stating their move toward to achieving carbon neutrality.

I downloaded this report and it’s so interesting. I have a 15-year-old, but we are already thinking about colleges. We can add a few more to our list after reading this report.

I sent this on to my brother whose son is about to go to college. Nice to be able to pick a “green” school. I hope by the time my children go to college, all of them are green!
