Students and colleges are teaming up to save energy, serve organic foods and reduce carbon emissions.
The current generation is often looked upon as "self-indulgent," "the me generation," and always looking for "instant gratification." Well, now we can add "eco-friendly" to the list

They're all about green, focused on saving energy, serving organic and local food, and reducing carbon emissions.
