Greenlist: state universities go green
>> U.S. colleges are getting more sustainable! According to the College Sustainability Report Card by the Sustainable Endowments Institute, the University of California gets a B-plus and USC a C-plus (PDFs).
>> The Sierra Club is even more impressed with the UC. The University of California system makes it on the list of 10 "Cool Schools."
>> Berkeley considers financing plan for home solar panels. The City Council is set to vote Nov. 6 "on a plan for the city to finance the cost of solar panels for property owners who agree to pay it back with a 20-year assessment on their property. Over two decades, the taxes would be the same or less than what property owners would save on their electric bills, officials say."
