Greener grade for CU
Carleton received a B- overall on the College Sustainability Report Card released Oct. 7, an improvement from the D- the university received last year.
A centerpiece of Carleton’s new sustainability efforts was its hiring of a sustainability officer in April 2009. Murdo Murchison was tasked with creating “a strategy on environmental issues, energy, waste and transportation management, campus planning and renovation projects that will incorporate community involvement,” Carleton’s website said.
