Dear Geoff and all, thanks for all of your inputs so far. Our semester is now coming to an end and my work on our report is picking up, so I’ll get back to you all soon with an update on what I’ve learned. I’m immensely grateful for all of the inputs so far!

According to a recent metric, UC Davis ranks first in the U.S. and third in the world for campus sustainability. The metric is the 2018 UI GreenMetric World University rankings. The history, scope and ambitions of the UC Davis campus sustainability program can be gauged from here: https://www.ucdavis.edu/about/sustainability/ 2. The New York Times ran an interesting piece on January 31st about the difficulties students at the University of the South faced when they tried to steer Sewanee's very substantial endowment funds in a more sustainable direction, and this on a campus that had a sustainability plan, at least on paper.

I would be very appreciative if any of you who are at universities doing something particularly powerful/effective in this area could share it with me. I will be happy to collect and send around ideas. Thanks!
