“In recent years, colleges like Warren Wilson took a leading role in the sustainability movement, which seeks to foster a durable human relationship with the environment. More than 600 U.S. colleges and universities are signatories of a pledge to become carbon neutral. Ninety dorms are now LEED certified, the most widely accepted national standard for green design. The EcoDorm is one of only two student residences that have LEED’s platinum rating, its highest.”
