Often, we don’t think of colleges as businesses, but they are non-profits, and the choices institutions make affect the entire world. One student, Nina Merrill from Colgate University, has started a new blog titled Organic on the Green to promote organic eating on campus.
The project is actually a collaboration between Nina and countless students working to make a difference, and she’s actively inviting others to post on the site as well.
It’s an impressive effort to help the popularity of organic foods on college campuses grow. The site includes information for both administrative staff and students to help everyone make greener choices.
Studies show that the “greenness” of a college is becoming more and more important to young adults when making a final selection. Although switching to organic foods is a large change from the typical college dining experience, I think it is a decision we’ll be seeing more and more in the coming years.
