Two Grand Rapids schools named to The Princeton Review's 2011 Guide to Green Colleges

Two Grand Rapids colleges are among a handful of Michigan campuses identified by The Princeton Review as the most sustainable campuses in the nation.

According to excerpts from the story:

For three consecutive years, The Princeton Review has been researching issues of sustainability as they pertain to college. In April 2011 we partnered with the U.S. Green Building Council to produce The Princeton Review's Guide to 311 Green Colleges. And every year we publish our Green Ratings in The Best Colleges. The Princeton Review's third annual Green Rating evaluates colleges and universities on their environmentally-related policies, practices and academic offerings. The result is a numerical score on a scale of 60-99. You will find each college's (703 of them) Green Rating on the Campus Life / Facilities tab of their profile. We salute 18 schools for their commitment to sustainability. These schools received our highest Green Rating of 99 and a place on The Princeton Review'sGreen Honor Roll.
