AASHE Releases Its First Publication

AASHE is pleased to announce the release of AASHE Digest 2005, a review of campus sustainability efforts from the past year. AASHE Digest is intended to be an annual publication comprised of news stories and resources from the previous year collected from AASHE's weekly newsletter, AASHE Bulletin.

This year’s report includes almost 250 stories about higher education leading the way to a sustainable future. It is organized into 8 chapters covering:

Institutional Change

Social Responsibility

Green Building

Energy & Climate

AASHE hopes that the Digest will become a standard reference for those interested in learning who is doing what to advance sustainability in higher education.
