Mistake or Reality: University of Waterloo gets a D+ on being “Green”
On Oct. 7, the University of Waterloo received a D+ on the College Sustainability Report Card of 2010, a survey sent to the top 332 universities and colleges in North America. This report card rates how eco-friendly and “green” campuses are. The U of W’s D+ is the lowest grade in Ontario – problem is, the university said it never completed the full survey.
Michelle Oliver is a first-year student in the recreation and leisure program at U of W who said one of the reasons she was drawn to the university was how “green” it was.
