Harvard pays 20 undergraduates to help get the green message out to fellow students in a fun way. That might mean whipping up a comp

14、f the Harvard Green Campus Initiative.At many schools, the construction of a new building is another chance to push green solutions. “What message does a conventional campus send?“ asks David Orr, who teaches environmental studies at Oberlin. “It sends the message that energy is cheap and plentiful.
15、 “ At Oberlin and other colleges, administrators are seeking to reverse that message with energy-efficient buildings. The Lewis Center at Oberlin, opened in 2000, was one of the first. Its powered entirely by solar arrays, which produce 30 percent more energy than the building consumes-and this is i

20、oom (传家宝) tomatoes and organic basil. In all, 40 percent of the universitys menu items now come from local organic farms. “Most food travels 1,500 miles before we eat it,“ she says. “It doesnt taste fresh, and transporting it long distances adds to the universitys carbon footprint. “ Eating locally
21、and organically solves those problems. And, as students learn from notices in the dining hails, the benefits dont stop there. “Connecticut loses farmland at the rate of 8,000 to 9,000 acres a year,“ says Shannon-DiPietro. “Supporting local farmers helps maintain a working agricultural landscape. “As
