AASHE Bulletin: Global Edition

In an effort to help our members learn from campus sustainability leaders across the globe, AASHE offers a twice-yearly supplement to AASHE Bulletin that covers sustainability stories from higher education institutions located outside of the U.S. and Canada.  AASHE Bulletin: Global Edition covers green buildings; climate and energy initiatives, new educational programs, waste reduction efforts, and many more initiatives at institutions outside the US and Canada. 

Subscribers to AASHE Bulletin automatically receive the twice-yearly Global Edition.  If you are not currently subscribed to AASHE Bulletin, you may do so here.

The next issue will be published: February 2010
Deadline for submissions: February 1, 2010

Submission Guidelines

To submit an item for consideration, email a link to the site where the news story or press release is posted to bulletin@aashe.org with the subject line, "global edition."

General

  • We can only include news that takes place outside of the U.S. and Canada. We cover stories within the U.S. and Canada in the regular AASHE Bulletin, which is produced weekly.
  • Submitted items must be directly related to campus sustainability. We are unable to post general sustainability items.
  • Submissions must be in English.
  • Press releases and news stories should be recent.  We usually require that stories have a publication date that is within 6 months of the upcoming issue of the Global Edition.
  • Items may be submitted by AASHE members and non-members alike.

News

  • We generally focus on news items that announce new efforts rather than coverage of ongoing initiatives. For instance, the receipt of third party certification on a new building would fit, but a general article about an institution's green building efforts would not.
  • Awards: Only those with a national or international scope will be included.
  • New buildings: We can include either the completion/dedication of a green building or the receipt of third party certification for a green building award (but not both).
  • Dorm competitions: We only include dorm v. dorm energy or water competitions once they have been completed.
  • We cannot include stories on educational events that take place on or within a single campus.
  • We cannot include stories on the participation of an individual campus in national or world-wide sustainability events that include multiple campuses (such as Earth Hour and Campus Sustainability Day). Instead, we generally post one story on the entire event.
