Earlier this month was the annual conference for AASHE, The Association for Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, in Nashville, Tennessee. This is the association that also accredits Bellevue College (and many other campuses) with a sustainability rating system, of which we were awarded the second highest rating… STARS Silver.
The annual convention showcased a number of individuals and campuses that were nominated for their research, projects or programs that advance sustainability on their campuses and beyond. Some of the finalists included Stanford for their climate plan, University of Iowa for their renewable energy plan, University of California – Santa Barbara for their water action plan, and University of Minnesota for their Environmental Leaders Policy.
