Hey folks, I'm passionate about environmental issues and would want my college to be the same. I've heard about some universities being less active in green initiatives. Could you share which are those so I can avoid applying to them?
Sure thing, understanding a college's commitment to sustainability is really crucial for anyone passionate about environmental issues! Keep in mind, though, that a lot of information related to a university's "green initiative" can be really fluid, as schools frequently update their policies, construct more energy-efficient buildings, and launch new initiatives.
However, based on various sustainability reports, a few schools seem to lag behind in terms of their environmental impact. For instance, College of the Ozarks, Liberty University, Brigham Young University-Provo, and Bethel University (Minnesota) have been cited as less Eco-friendly.
These rankings usually take into account things like energy consumption, waste disposal systems, recycling programs, the curriculum's emphasis on sustainability, and how much of the school's food is locally sourced.
While these schools have room for improvement, remember that change often stems from passionate individuals advocating for it! Attending a school with room for improvement in its environmental policies could offer a unique opportunity for you to effect change.
Lastly, keep in mind that this information might have changed as universities update their environmental initiatives frequently. It's best to check individual school websites for the most recent information on their sustainability endeavors and environmental policies.
