Is CUNY Going Green?
So claims a new website at www.GreenCUNY.org. Run by CUNY’s Sustainability Coalition, the website encourages student initiatives to develop sustainable practices that benefit CUNY campuses.
So far however, the website seems to mostly be a public relations effort by CUNY Central to inform the public how “green” CUNY is becoming.
One of the more prominent posts on the site seems to be a link to an article in CUNY Matters (a CUNY Central controlled public relations newspaper) which discusses the major sustainability projects of CUNY and faculty research. Still, the site looks promising as more and more students are beginning to post tips. One post suggests how students could transform their CUNY campus cafeteria into more environmentally sound and friendly eateries.
The CUNY Sustainability Coalition’s stated mission is for “students and affiliates from all 23 campuses [to] organize, take action and share ideas to forward the endeavor.” This latest round of CUNY PR began last June when CUNY agreed to Mayor Bloomberg’s plan to cut college emissions by 30 percent.
