EPA Names UC Santa Cruz Sixth-Largest Campus Purchaser of 'Green Power' For Second Year in a Row

For the second year in a row, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has identified the University of California, Santa Cruz, as the sixth-largest campus purchaser of "green power" in the country.

"This ranking underscores UCSC's commitment to reducing our carbon footprint," said UCSC Chancellor George R. Blumenthal. "We're leading the way and helping to build the market for renewable electricity so others will follow."

Blumenthal, hailing the recent release of UCSC's 2007 Campus Sustainability Assessment, said he wants UCSC to be a leader in sustainability and "green" initiatives.
