The campaigning group People and Planet have published an interesting league table showing the greenest (and dirtiest) universities.
I do a lot of work with the further education sector. It would be interesting to see how colleges would perform if subjected to such an examination. Hopefully the Association of Colleges' Green Colleges initiative will build and extend some good practice going on. (I must confess to being a bit skeptical about how representative the colleges were in the AoC's quite positive survey on this issue.)
It is worth remembering that almost all universities and colleges (and many other organisation in the public and third sector) are entitled to a free energy survey by the Carbon Trust.
Before we all get too smug - as individuals we can count our carbon on the excellent Act on co2 website.
