Kudos anyway, make dem no say I be bad belle

I think we all obviously know we don't have that...

Eco - friendly means "least harmful to the environment". The metric ranges from green campus to low carbon footprint and renewable sources of energy... But green campus is a justifiable metric in measuring ecological sustainability in the absense of the others.

As a matter of fact renewable energy and low carbon footprint are remedial means to correct the harm already done by humans. But nature in its untampered form is already as eco-friendly as it can get, therefore green space is still the most fundamental metric that justifies an eco - friendly environment. This is the reason why we go on aggressive tree planting as a basic way to ensure environmental sustainability even in developed countries. So the purpose of this post is to encourage universities who are doing the basic things before we move into applied effort to mitigate harm already done.

So whether its a man planting a new tree, a kid picking plastic for recycling, or a student ditching car for bicycles they are all on the same side.

I hope i answered your objections as best as i could.
