Campus Ecology has been helping individuals and campuses address sustainability and climate change since 1989. And our members have been making a difference. We have their stories to prove it.

You can browse through these case studies by year, topic, state, or school. Campus Ecology gathers these case studies to document and celebrate the great work being done at colleges and universities across the country, and to help others learn from these projects. We hope you gain inspiration from these accounts, as well as insight into effective methods for implementing your own projects.

The annual compendium is well-publicized as a valuable resource of sustainability practices and has been featured in the Princeton Review and other national, local, and campus newspapers.
