Honor Roll: Northwestern has decent environmental reporting, but has not yet joined up with the ACUPCC. Northwestern has a LEED building on its campus and requires that all new buildings must be at least LEED Silver. Northwestern has about an average recycling rate and it uses some of its spent cooking oil as a fuel source. Northwestern buys RECs to offset 23% of its energy consumption, which is something that very few major Universities do. Northwestern offers some green food options on campus and it is exploring the usage of alternative fuel vehicles on campus. Held After Class: Northwestern is a little soft outside of its building program and energy usage. It is lagging behind other schools in terms of food sourcing, recycling, composting, and usage of alternative fuel vehicles. Green Grade: Although it is making a considerable effort, if Northwestern wants to improve its green score, it needs to incorporate more green aspects to its campus. |
