The ACS Environmental Program does not personally endorse all of the following sites, but provides this information in its continuing effort to supply ACS institutions with potentially helpful resources. Included are dozens of links to a variety of websites revealing sustainable campus initiatives and comprehensive campus environmental assessments. Organizations that focus their energy on sustainable building design, recycled paper, composting, city planning etc. are also listed. Some of these sites provide great models, information, and project ideas that can be applied to your own institution (*** denotes environmental projects at ACS member schools).
