TODAY: Celebrating Campus Sustainability Day with honors!
Today is not just any ordinary day at Carolina! Yesterday, UNC was named the national champion in the EPA's first National Building Competition. You can read more about UNC's victory here.
And just this morning, the Sustainable Endowments Institute announced that UNC received an A- on the 2011 College Green Report Card! Our University also earned the designation of "Overall College Sustainability Leader," which is an accolade reserved schools that earn top marks in all areas of the report card: administration, climate change & energy, food & recycling, green building, student involvement, and transportation. Our score was again the highest in the whole state - besting Duke, NC State, Wake Forest, and others. Read more about the 2011 College Green Report Card here.
Congratulations to everyone all across the campus that works so hard day after day to make UNC Chapel Hill a smarter, healthier, happier, more sustainable university!
