Most of these colleges also offer advanced environmentally friendly classes: The University of Washington has 550 environment focused or sustainability courses, University of California Irvine offers 350 sustainability-related classes, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst reports that 29 out of 90 of their undergrad programs have a focus on sustainability. At American University, the Green Teaching Certification Program rewards professors for incorporating sustainability content into curriculum.<\/div>\n<div>The focus on environmental efforts doesn\u2019t end with composting and classes. Many of these colleges are also shifting their focus onto renewable energy, energy efficient vehicles and buildings, and other environmentally friendly programs. Many of these colleges now have LEED certified buildings, solar power panels, Green Mountain University has built a biomass facility which allows for the campus to be heated by woodchips.<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s wonderful to see all these colleges adopting a green focus, and I\u2019m sure our environment agrees!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22854\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22854\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsilike.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/campus.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22854\" alt=\"how green is your campus\" src=\"http:\/\/www.newsilike.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/campus.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"9167\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.newsilike.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/campus.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.newsilike.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/campus-700x8021.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22854\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">how green is your campus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the green movement gaining fans young and old, it\u2019s no surprise that businesses, communities, and schools are beginning to adopt eco-friendly practices. http:\/\/www.bestcollegereviews.org\/green-campus\/ has created an infographic outlining how ten popular colleges are beginning to do business with a focus on keeping things green.
