4200 Colleges and Universtities in US have more than 17 million enrolled students for a go green campaign called: Campus Greening.
The first EARTH DAY in 1970 inspired student groups, staff and faculty to begin greening campuses.
Their moto is, ‘If colleges and universities improve their environmental performance dramatically and if they have a long term in flunence on chocies made by gradutaes in their work, homes and communities, the collective effect could be vast.’
While their agenda is consistent with -Doing the right thing, locally and globally.

What do they do in Campus greening?

- prospective students are interested in the environment, so green campus maps and green tours are offered.
- More walking and biking which results in healthy lifestyle.
- conserving water yeilds multiple savings: lower water bills, reduced sewer charges and decreased energy costs.

These eco friendly colleges use vibrant environmental programs and uses the campus as a learning laboratory connecting students to nature through campus feild trips, discussions of environmental values and hands on projects.
They also have greening examples for enhancing course work, for example students in economics learn cost- benefit analysis by assesing alternative flooring choices and then have the satisfaction of seeing their work affect university decision.Thus the growing concern about climate change informs many campus activities. Hope India too follows such campus activities with a environmental value based mind and aptitude.
