Students and faculty began to say we should walk the talk,” says Kathleen Schatzberg, president of Cape Cod Community College. The college has implemented several cost-saving and environmentally friendly measures in recent years, including purchasing a Toyota Prius hybrid for Schatzberg.

The State University of New York at Buffalo has a variety of green programs, including a 2003 “You have the power’ campaign that asked all students and administrators to turn off equipment and lights that weren’t in use for one day. They saved $11,000 that day. The campus estimates they save $10 million annually because of energy-saving programs.
