Abstract
The writer presents a profile of Butte College, an environmentally conscious institution located on a wildlife reserve in northern California: The college has its own extensive solar-power program, as well as a transportation network designed to keep cars off its roads. Butte is a nationally recognized leader in sustainability, given a solar-power program that produces almost 50 percent of energy used on campus, and the college plans to generate more clean energy than it consumes by 2011. The growing trend among community colleges to formalize their commitment to sustainability is discussed.
