Colby Is Greenest
A program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency named Colby conference champion for use of green electricity. Beyond topping other NESCAC schools, Colby has the highest percentage use of green electricity of any college or university in the national competition. All of Colby's purchased electricity comes from renewable sources; the College has a co-generation turbine on campus, and it buys Renewable Energy Credits as well. Read Sentinel coverage.
