美國10大最環保學院

10 of the Greenest Colleges in the United States

These days, it takes work to stand out among the greenest colleges. In researching this elite group, we found many schools with organic and local produce in the cafeterias, LEED requirements for all new buildings and free passes for public transportation. And while solar arrays and wind turbines are great, many have found that energy efficiency upgrades is where it’s at. So what makes these 10 campuses take top billing among their peers?

Stanford University (CA) (pop: roughly 18,000) recently updated all showerheads and faucets, saving over 120 million gallons of water annually. Currently the university is working to divert 75% of waste from landfills through reuse, recycling and composting, which alone accounts for over 1,300 tons of food and material each year. Stanford also boasts one of the largest zipcar membership programs, with over 1,200 students participating. In cafeterias, which produce over 10,000 gallons of biodiesel fuel each year, 100% of seafood served is listed as sustainable.

這些日子來，突出環保的學院需要努力工作贏得聲譽。在研究這個精英群體，我們發現，許多學校和當地的有機糧食生產連接，在食堂，綠色建築要求所有新建築和免費通行證公共交通。儘管太陽能電池板和風力發電機是巨大的，許多人都發現，能源效率的升級就是它的。是什麼讓這10個校區採取頂端計費同輩？

斯坦福大學（加利福尼亞州,大約18,000學生）最近更新的所有蓮蓬頭和水龍頭，節約超過120萬加侖的水，每年。目前，該大學正轉移75％的廢物堆填區，通過再利用，回收和堆肥，這就佔了1300噸糧食和物資，每年。斯坦福大學還擁有其中一個最大的汽車共享會員計劃，有超過1200名學生參加。在食堂，而生產1萬多加侖的生物柴油燃料，每年的海鮮消費100％被列為非常可持續。
