Where do Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, and Yale Stand in Green Pledge Commitment?
The richest universities in the nation, are nowhere to be found on the “American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment” pledge, an initiative started to empower and encourage universities and colleges nationwide to make a commitment to go carbon neutral.
To date, 284 colleges have signed the pledge, and many are making short-term plans to get their campuses green, while the long-term plans are ironed out and put into effect. One of the leaders of the campaign, Arizona State University President Micheal Crow, states “global warming is a defining challenge of our time,” and that “colleges and universities must lead the effort to reverse global warming for the health and well-being of current and future generations.”
