AASHE Digest: An Annual Review of Campus Sustainability

At the beginning of each year, AASHE produces a review of campus sustainability efforts over the previous year called AASHE Digest. The Digest is comprised of news stories and resources from the year collected from AASHE Bulletin, our weekly enewsletter. The goal of the report is to serve as a standard reference for who is doing what to advance sustainability in higher education.

AASHE Digest 2007 (pdf) includes over 800 stories about higher education institutions that are leading the way to a sustainable future. It is organized into 24 chapters spanning education, research, campus operations, administration, and finance.

The report was made possible with the support of Mithun and PortionPac.
