In March, University of Texas-Austin students approved a $5 tuition increase to finance sustainability efforts on campus. In doing so, they joined university students around the state – including those at Texas A&M, UT-El Paso, UT-San Antonio, and the University of North Texas – who also voted this year to establish campus green funds. Their efforts are part of a growing movement led by ReEnergize Texas, a student coalition pushing sustainability as a way both to improve energy efficiency and reduce operating costs on campuses around the state – a win-win for the students of today and tomorrow.
