Green Campus Program
The Alliance to Save Energy's Green Campus Program is leading the way towards campus sustainability by bridging the divide between students and institutional energy costs. Through Green Campus, students are working to save energy on campuses by building general campus awareness, incorporating energy conservation and efficiency into course curricula, and implementing projects targeting eneryg use, student purchasing decisions, and operational changes. Learn more about the Green Campus Program.
