AASHE Releases a Digest of Sustainability Efforts in 2008
The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education has released its 2008 digest of campus undertakings in sustainability, which essentially collects the news items sent out in AASHE’s weekly e-mail messages. The 356-page document, which is available free online, covers education and curriculum, staff development, buildings, carbon-emissions programs, dining services, grounds, transportation, waste, and other areas.
A news release for the report ticks off some of the numbers from the past year: Almost 300 campuses signed the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment, 130 green buildings were planned or built, more than 60 sustainability-focused academic programs were created, and 13 sustainability-research centers opened.
