Princeton Review Green Colleges with Green Honor Roll

September 13, 2011 No Comments

The Princeton Review – known for its education services helping students choose and get in to colleges – today reported its fourth annual Green Ratings of colleges: a measure of how environmentally friendly the institutions are on a scale of 60 to 99. The Company tallied the rating for 768 institutions based on its institutional surveys of colleges in 2010-11 concerning their environmentally related practices, policies and academic offerings.
The Green Rating scores appear in the profiles of the 768 schools that The Princeton Review today posted on http://www.PrincetonReview.com. They are also in the profiles of those schools in the new 2012 editions of two Princeton Review guidebooks: “The Best 376 Colleges” ($22.99) and “Complete Book of Colleges” ($26.99) – on sale August 2, published by Random House.

Switch Lighting LED Green Lighting company Says Dump Old Bulbs Plus CFL

September 13, 2011 No Comments

Switch is designing their LED bulbs to meet Cradle to Cradle® principles—continuously and cost-effectively recovering all materials from the used light bulbs and safely biodegrading or recycling them. “Components won’t necessarily be repurposed into another light bulb, but could be siphoned into the broader industrial cycle,” says William McDonough, who developed the Cradle to Cradle protocol with German chemist Michael Braungart. “The unique design of Switch bulbs signals the company’s intention to offer brilliant lighting as a service for humanity,” added McDonough.
Because of the unique cooling system, Switch light bulbs can be used in any orientation with no compromise to their 20,000 hour life (10-15 years). Based on a 75 watt-equivalent bulb used in a home for 5 hours a day, Switch has calculated energy savings of up to $140.00 per bulb over its lifetime. The Switch LED bulbs use 85% less energy than incandescent bulbs and unlike compact fluorescents, they do not contain mercury. The purchase price payback in energy cost savings is realized in about one year.
