College Of The Atlantic, The Greenest College

by Missy on Monday, August 11th, 2008

Over at Earth First, they have a neat column in which they feature a series of green colleges. This week they feature College of the Atlantic, in Maine.

Considering that the school is dedicated to ecology, it’s no surprise that it’s often called ‘the greenest of them all’.  All 325(!) students are personally committed to making the college as green as possible, and not just by planting lots of trees. They actively work to reduce waste, maximize energy efficiency, use low fossil-fuel transport, eat local and organic and educate the public about sustainability.  A free bike program provides bicycles, helmets, lights and reflective vests to all students, faculty, staff and visitors, and the entire fleet is comprised of restored and repaired older bicycles.  The college’s small fleet of watercraft used in academic programs as well as for recreation run on ethanol.

It is easy to see, why College of the Atlantic made it on the Earth First top green college list. To see others, visit here.
