While some may argue that’s because there’s not much going on in terms of environmental action at African-American colleges, I know that’s simply not true: conversations I’ve had with former colleagues prove that HBCUs are just as concerned about environmental issues as other institutions, and taking action to mitigate their impact.

So, as you might imagine, I was kind of excited when I saw the following article from AOL Patch. Take a look at what these five historically Black schools are doing on the sustainability front, and then share any projects you know about at other schools… we’d love to help spread the word!
