As a provider of sustainable furniture asset management solutions to the higher education industry, The Refinishing Touch has seen first- hand the leaps and bounds colleges and universities across North America are taking towards eco-friendly living. So, who's ahead of the curve – public or private universities? The answers may surprise you. FIRST UP MEASURING SUCCESS ON THE EDUCATION 'WORD' WIDE WEB Informing today's youth is key to a green tomorrow. We've investigated just how many of the top ten public schools, and the top ten private, offer environmental courses, majors, and dedicated schools for students hoping to learn about the environment. The Refinishing Touch sought out to discover just how often universities mention sustainability, recycling, LEED and refinishing online. These numbers are based on word density, calculated by a 24 layer web-crawl, of each university's website. 40000 PUBLIC E 35000 * 30000 25000 20000 n 15000 CLASSES:53% MAJOR:29% SCHOOL:18% PRIVATE 10000 6 5000 Public Private I Sustainability I Refinishing Recycling I LEED CLASSES:53% MAJOR:27% SCHOOL: 20% TOP OF THE CLASS: PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES GREEN DREAMING Across the board, universities are showing promise in their goals, visions and hopes for the future.
