BACKGROUND:National Wildlife Federation’s Campus Ecology program will release on Wed. Nov. 18 a new report that highlights 165 American college and university examples in 46 states covering ways American students are greening all aspects of their higher education experience.

Report topics range from renewable energy and conservation to dorm move-out programs; from campus food systems to wildlife habitat restoration. Students have creatively stepped up to raise funds for efficiency projects; there is great community outreach through weatherization projects; and we are seeing some campuses leap over hurdles to achieve behavior change in dorms.

Campuses featured in Generation E are encouraged to enter NWF's Chill Out national competition this fall. The Chill Out: Campus Solutions to Global Warming competition rewards and recognizes all the cool things our campuses do to reduce the impacts of global warming. Students, faculty and staff can create a two minute video that shows what their college or university is doing to reduce global warming pollution and filling out the entry form at www.campuschillout.org.

Check out the following list of schools highlighted in the report, and join us in the teleconference to learn more about the innovate programs being implemented on those campuses.
