GO BIG GREEN.

The article presents information on campaigns in schools that promote green living. It informs that students at almost 600 U.S. and Canadian schools are organizing around clean-energy solutions as part of the Campus Climate Challenge, a campaign initiated by youth environmental groups. Collegians in the U.S. turned down thermostats; performed waste audits; and lobbied their schools to reduce energy use, and provide healthier and organic food. At the New School in New York City, a campaign helped convince the college to switch from virgin paper to 100 percent recycled stock in all campus computer laboratories. It is stated that as the biggest purchasers and employers in many communities, colleges can create demand for eco-friendly services and products.
