UC Berkeley Sustainability Efforts, A Progress Report.

UC Berkeley is marching towards a greener campus at the same speed it is preaching about being green. The campus has Stepped-up recycling, changed the lighting arrangements, transit use promotion, Strawberry Creek, one of my favorite features of campus grounds, habitat restoration and increased use of local and organic food in the dining halls.
All these attempts: successful, partially implemented and as well as others still on drawing board has been published in the 2008 sustainability assessment issued this fall by the Office of Sustainability and the Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Sustainability (CACS).
UC Berkeley News has a very comprehensive article.
But a list of more than 400 sustainability-related courses taught at Berkeley by some 300 faculty, with 86 academic-degree programs and dozens of research centers are listed online at Berkeley's sustainability portal.
