Sierra's Top 100 Cool Schools

Sierra's fourth annual Coolest Schools survey was sent to 900 colleges and universities across the United States. A total of 162 schools responded to the questionnaire and detailed their sustainability efforts.

This year, after consulting the Club's conservation experts, Sierra shifted the weighting of its survey question. The new ranking system now gives more weight to each school's energy supply. That adjustment caused a significant reorganization of the schools in the list compared to last year.

Although energy supply carried the most significance, nine other categories were considered in measuring a school's commitment to sustainability: efficiency, food, academics, purchasing, transportation, waste management, administration, financial investments, and a catchall section titled "other initiatives."

The Princeton Review Green Colleges Honor Role


The Princeton Review researches issues of sustainability as they pertain to college and every year they publish their green ratings. In April, 2010, they partnered with the U.S. Green Building Council to produce The Princeton Review's Guide to 286 Green Colleges.

The Princeton Review’s second annual Green Rating evaluates colleges and universities on their environmentally-related policies, practices and academic offerings. Each of this year's 697 colleges were assessed and assigned a Green Rating.

Here is an alphabetical list of the top 18 schools leading the way with their commitment to sustainability. All of these schools received the highest green rating possible and earned a place on what is known as The Princeton Review’s Green Honor Roll.

Arizona State University at the Tempe Campus

Curriculum: Established in 2007, ASU’s School of Sustainability, the first of its kind in the US. Sustainability is a fundamental precept underlying its teaching and learning, research and business missions. The school offers transdisciplinary degree programs that advance practical solutions to environmental, economic and social challenges. The school has over 60 faculty representing over 40 disciplines and offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs along with professional certificates.

Campus: The Tempe campus has the largest collection of energy-providing solar panels on a single US university campus. ASU subsidizes bus and light rail passes for all students and employees and offers car-sharing and a carpool program with special parking privileges. A student-run bicycle co-op offers low- or no-cost bike repairs and free bike rentals.

College of the Atlantic (Bar Harbor, ME)

Curriculum: This college has one major, Human Ecology. How humans relate to our environment is the core of the curriculum. COA has a new Trans-Atlantic Food Systems program and a growing undergraduate green and socially responsible business program.

Campus: COA has been carbon neutral since 2007. All electricity comes from renewable hydropower; new buildings and some old are cleanly heated via renewable wood pellets. An organic Beech Hill Farm (partially powered by a wind turbine) offers organic produce to campus, local schools and food banks. Recycling bins are in every office, composting bins in every kitchen and composting toilets in all new buildings.

The Evergreen State College (Olympia, WA)

Curriculum: The Washington Center for Improving the Quality of Undergraduate Education at Evergreen has launched the Curriculum for the Bioregion, an effort that focuses on incorporating environmental and sustainability issues into general education college courses throughout the Pacific Northwest. Students recently launched the Center for Sustainable Entrepreneurship, an effort to put their business skills to use in socially responsible ventures. Their on-campus farm is used to teach a broad range of courses such as small-scale organic agriculture, ethnobotany, visual arts, beekeeping, forest ecology, and ecological agriculture.

Campus: Spread over one thousand-acres, this campus features miles of trails, a half mile of beach on Puget Sound, wetlands, forests and an organic farm. Evergreen has purchased a fleet of electric cars to replace many of its gasoline and diesel vehicles. Evergreen students pay a self-imposed clean energy fee to ensure that 100 percent of the college’s electricity comes from renewable sources. The school has also reduced its landfill waste by more than 97,000 pounds since 2008.

The college's intent is to offer a rich variety of sustainability programming to meet the interests of their students. Sustainability programming is already in place in many units and they anticipate that it will increase as they hire additional faculty with sustainability-based research interests.

Campus: This school has integrated energy conservation into its facilities management plans since the 1980s. Most recently, the school replaced 70,000 traditional lamps with fluorescent lamps that will reduce carbon emissions by 686 tons annually. International Village, Northeastern’s new mixed-use dorm/office building, will be submitted for LEED Gold certification. Once certified, International Village will be the largest residence hall in the United States to meet this standard of sustainability. Additionally, International Village is working with a national non-profit to improve the environmental impact of its dining hall. As a result of “Project Clean Plate”, an aggressive food composting initiative, approximately 594 tons of dining hall service and catering food waste was composted in 2008. This numbers is expected to increase dramatically in 2009. Northeastern's recycling program started over 20 years ago and has expanded to include thirteen different categories of collected items, including asphalt and construction materials.

Northland College (Ashland, WI)

Curriculum: Northland built a commitment to green into the curriculum almost 40 years ago. They offer everything from Sustainable Business to Sustainable Agriculture.

Green Schools are Bridging the Knowledge Gap

Although ignorance seems to be prevailing at UN climate talks and in the US Senate, thousands of green oriented educational programs offer hope for a more sustainable future.

As Kevin Drum wrote in a Mother Jones article on August 18, 2010, even the environmentally friendly have much to learn about sustainable living.

A 2009 study revealed that while most are interested in sustainability, many do not know how to go about creating a greener world. The 2009 questionnaire titled, Implications for a Green Curriculum Application toward Sustainable Development, explored university students' understanding of sustainable development, as well as their attitudes, environmental values, and life style behavior.

The results indicated that the majority of the participants declared themselves familiar with the term of sustainable development, but they did not understand the term as a holistic concept. It also found that university students had favorable attitudes toward sustainable development and intrinsic values toward the environment. However, these participants did not readily take action to create a more sustainable future.

The study indicates that university students are aligned with the environment but they do not know how to bring their actions into line with their values. Sustainable curriculums are key to instilling the knowledge required to drive the green economy. Thankfully a wide range of educational programs are rising to meet the challenge.

Green schools and sustainable curriculums are growing exponentially in the US, at the primary and secondary level, school boards are coordinating their efforts to provide both green schools and greener curriculums. According to Lisa Bennett of the Center for Ecoliteracy, in Berkeley, California, green schools are sprouting up in all shapes and sizes across the United States.

The Michigan Green Schools program continues to grow and in 2010 they added another six counties. One example of a sustainable primary/secondary school is Head-Royce School in Oakland, California. The school hopes to become one of the first carbon-neutral schools in the nation. The Center for Ecoliteracy has worked with Head-Royce and other schools to integrate environmental action into lesson plans. The principle of Head-Royce believes it's important for schools to teach sustainability, "many of the problems that we now face are because we didn't learn about sustainable living so why not start teaching young kids about it," he said.

Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, Ohio, and Oregon have committed to developing green educational programs. A collaborative effort between state and federal authorities will create secondary and post-secondary programs that will lead to certificates and associate and bachelor degrees.

As part of the program, Georgia will focus its efforts on construction, energy, and transportation; Illinois will focus on energy, utilities, and waste management; Ohio will tackle agriculture, biotechnology, and energy; and Oregon will focus on construction and solar and wind energy.

To be sustainable we will need to relearn parts of almost everything we do. To help meet this need in the construction industry, new green construction training curricula have been developed in cooperation with industry and green product manufacturers.

According to US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, "Green means healthier learning environments for students and adults, plus lower energy costs and a stronger economy. Green programs of study support the administration's goal of expanding a green workforce by preparing students for high-skill, high-wage jobs in a clean energy economy."

There are thousands of examples of green educational programs that meet the sustainability demands of the modern era. From a green school in Bali that offers sustainable education starting at preschool, to rapidly proliferating university level curriculums in America, green academics are on the rise around the world.

Sustainable education programs are bridging the gaps in our knowledge and transforming the students of today into the leaders of tomorrow.
