Much of the food in the dining hall is sourced from within 100 miles of the school, a lot of the school's power is generated renewably on campus via solar, a good deal of the rest is generated renewably off campus, it has a strict water conservation regime, new buildings are LEED certified, and we are cutting back on the use of paper by making as many things electronic as possible. The fact that my school is so green is one of the reasons I chose to come here. In the future, I plan to grow most of my food myself and live off of the grid using solar power.
