Sustainable colleges
For those of us thinking about a new career, "college sustainability officer" might be just the ticket.
Across the country, schools are trying to figure out how to be more green. Students and their families are demanding it.
And these days, being green means more than having a receptacle for alumimum cans in the student union.
This report lays out the mulitple shades of green, then ranks a whole bunch of schools.

I report on the environment and Chesapeake Bay. A native of West Virginia, I have focused mainly on Maryland's environment since moving here in 1983. Along the way, I've crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. Recently, I have been covering the growth and development transforming the landscape. I love seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. I hope to share some here.
