So many ways to get green-ducated
The University of Colorado at Boulder just added a “sustainability certificate” for working folks in its continuing education department.

There are about 200 sustainability majors, minors and certificate programs across the United States — half of which emerged in the past year, said Paul Rowland, executive director of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education.
