USA Today - July 29, 2008
The Princeton Review's annual guide, The Best 368 Colleges, out Monday, comes with the traditional rankings of best party schools... But this year's edition adds a new wrinkle: how "green" a school is. Eleven schools made the green rankings, based on criteria such as the amount of money spent on local or organic food, energy consumption from renewable sources and the availability and/or requirement of an environmental education: Arizona State University - Tempe. Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, State University of New York - Binghamton, College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine ,Emory University, Georgia Tech, Harvard College, University of New Hampshire, University of Oregon, University of Washington and Yale University.
