Comments on: Conservation, Recycling, Local Food: How College Campuses Are Going Green http://earthfirst.com/conservation-recycling-local-food-how-college-campuses-are-going-green/ A Sharp Eye -- With a Green Edge Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:33:14 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: jake3988 http://earthfirst.com/conservation-recycling-local-food-how-college-campuses-are-going-green/comment-page-1/#comment-1461 jake3988 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 03:21:54 +0000 http://earthfirst.com/?p=895#comment-1461 This is a good thread to put this in as my campus (Slippery Rock in Pennsylvania) just recently, passed overwhelmingly 85:15(%) a green fund initiative to make our campus green. It's only included in the budget as a mere $5 per student, and we have 8000 students which would make $40000. While that's pretty crappy, it's a great start. Hopefully it's just the start. With the influx of technology, the electricity the campus (and campuses around the country) are sucking have got to be freaking huge. Any attempt at offsetting that is good in my book.
