As I sit here this morning, eating a bowl of apple cinnamon oatmeal, sifting through the latest college news feeds…
I came across an article from CBS.com that highlites a new category in the latest edition 2009 Princeton Review of nationwide college rankings. The Green Honor Roll.
Actually, there are 62 new categorys in all, but the Green Honor Roll seems to be getting the most media attention.
If you ever wanted to know how Princeton Review puts this list together, check out their How We Do It page.
So, you’re probably wondering what the considerations are for making it on to this special category?
1. The amount of money spent on local or organic food
2. Energy consumption from renewable sources
3. The availability and/or requirement of an environmental education.
For some reason, I can’t seem to understand why the amount of money spent on organic food would be of major significance to make this list, but obviously, Princeton did. Anyway, here is the list!

Arizona State University at the Tempe campus
