Review

"[A] must-read ... take notes, and be amazed at the number of ways to achieve campus sustainability."
— Steve Lachman, Environment

"Barlett and Chase do not simply wish to spray paint campuses a superficial green, but instead have probed the depths of what sustainability really means in academia, 'the grove of trees where scholars once walked and talked.' In bringing together cutting-edge thinkers and practitioners like Jenks-Jay, Orr, Faulstich, and Uhl, the editors have given me hope that universities and colleges can lead rather than lag behind in efforts to forge a future that will leave the next generation of students enriched, not impoverished."
—Gary Nabhan, Director of the Center for Sustainable Environments, Northern Arizona University, and author of Coming Home to Eat

“This is a hopeful book, and I found every story within it to be a gem. The editors and authors have done a great service through their work over the years and by sharing their stories in this unusually compelling book. Instead of preachy admonitions, these are moving personal testimonials with broader community significance.”
—Julian Keniry, Director of Youth and Campus Ecology, National Wildlife Federation, author of Ecodemia: Campus Environmental Stewardship at the Turn of the 21st Century

"This book's strength lies in the diversity of case studies and approaches to campus initiatives to lessen their 'environmental footprint,' as well as the honest reflections by most authors upon the successes and the failures, the joys and the heartaches, of their efforts."
—John M. Meyer, Department of Government and Politics, Humboldt State University, author of Political Nature: Environmentalism and the Interpretation of Western Thought

"Societies look to universities for leadership, and nowhere is that leadership more crucial today than in the struggle for sustainability. The stories presented here are inspiring models of success that show how the lessons learned on campus can illuminate the way to broad social change.
—Gretchen C. Daily, editor of Nature's Services and coauthor of The New Economy of Nature: The Quest to Make Conservation Profitable
