According to a recent Telegram and Gazette article, Clark is one of 650 colleges taking the pledge to be more green.  The pledge is part of Clark's participation in the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (ACUPCC).  More info about ACUPCC

The University will upgrade energy systems, promote a bike share program and work to establish a culture of sustainability.
The students have started a program called "think before you ink" designed to reduce the number of printed pages.
"students are given a “paper allowance” for how many sheets of paper they can use in a year. If they go over 500 sheets in a semester, they have to pay 10 cents a sheet." T&G  12/16/2009
