Here's a University we could actually go to and learn from more hands on. Maybe you've heard of it, Rice University.

"The Shell Center creates an interdisciplinary program of research, outreach and education to address actions that can be taken to ensure the sustainable development of living standards, interpreted broadly, to encompass all factors affecting the quality of life including environmental resources. It supports the efforts of Rice University's faculty, staff and students to better our planet's economy, society and environment."

I think it would be great to collaborate in the studies with Rice. I also think that we could easily get in contact with a current student so they could come talk to us about their sustainability project.

I think that having a speaker would be good. And since it's so close by it is very convenient that we could personally go to the campus and maybe even sit in on one of their lectures or talks over this project.

This site makes reports on the Green-ness of Colleges. Each College gets a letter grade from "A" to "F". UH, UT-Austin, Rice,and Southwestern received a B+. Only eight schools have an "A", followed by many schools with "A-". No Texas school is above the "B+" zone.

The University of North Texas has a website about sustainability.
