College Green: The University of New Hampshire Will Get 85% of Its Electricity From Landfill Gas

I went to the University of New Hampshire in my first year of college way back in 96/97. It’s a great campus and I’ve been excited to read about their forays into sustainability over the years.

Here’s a wonkish video outlining UNH’s green initiatives, including their use of landfill gas that will provide 85% of their energy needs. Although I remember the food being good when I was a skinny 18 year old freshman eating in the dining halls, I missed out on their recent embrace of Slow Food- locally sourced minimally processed natural foods.

Go Wildcats!
