UH makes Princeton Review's Green List 3 years in a row
Date:4/23/2012

s central utility plant. The panels power its administrative offices and produce up to 23,615-kilowatt hours of clean energy each year. It is estimated that this array will contribute to energy savings of up to $300,000 over 30 years.

This year, UH also benefitted from 60 new recycling bins that were donated by ALCOA, as well as 300 new trees that were planted on campus.

The Princeton Review's Guide to 322 Green Colleges profiles institutions of higher education in the United States and Canada that demonstrate a strong commitment to sustainability in academic offerings, campus infrastructure, activities and career preparation. The 232-page guide is the only free, comprehensive, annually updated guide to green colleges. It is published by The Princeton Review in collaboration with the U.S. Green Building Council. It can be downloaded at www.princetonreview.com/green-guide.

"We are pleased to make this free resource available to all students seeking to attend colleges that practice, teach and support environmentally responsible choices. To that end, we highly recommend the terrific schools in this book," said Robert Franek, senior vice president and publisher of The Princeton Review.

The Princeton Review selected universities for this guide following surveys that were completed by the colleges' administrators. Surveys contained more than 50 questions regarding university policies, practices and programs. Based on these surveys, The Princeton Review tallied "Green Rating" scores from 60 to 99. The universities listed in this guide scored 83 or higher.

"We're honored to be part of a list of schools working hard for sustainability," said Leah Wolfthal, UH program coordinator for sustainability. "We're also excited about the unfolding progress made not only last year, but also by what's to come!"
