The University of Washington was recently named one of the country’s greenest universities by the Sierra Club. Sierra magazine, the group’s official publication, put UW at No. 8 in its 2015 “Cool Schools” rankings—marking the sixth time in nine years UW has been included in the top 10. The publication ranked more than 150 schools based on an extensive survey covering campus sustainability practices, including the availability of organic, local foods, waste systems that divert trash from landfills, transportation options that keep students and staff out of cars, and more. Part of what helped UW land the top honors was the work of our very own UW Farm!
