"It's Not Easy Being Green" is a study that was done by Carnegie Mellon in 2008. The goal of the study was to provide a coherent framework and set of tools to allow institutions to understand their environmental impacts in relation to their peers, to determine appropriate sustainability goals and targets, and to identify and implement cost-effective programs to achieve these goals.
This project was awarded the honorable mention prize at the AASHE 2008 conference in Raleigh, North Carolina.
