UAF and UAA will battle for supremacy  in the sustainable world.

A sustainable meal is at stake.

A UAF press release says:

The contest is built around the Sustainability Report Card, which is published by the Sustainable Endowments Institute. The institute grades 300 public and private colleges and universities each year. UAF’s 2010 grade was C-, while UAA’s was B-.

While contest details are still being worked out, art students at both schools will create a trophy made from recycled materials. The school with the highest report card grade will house the trophy of the losing school during the 2010-11 academic year. The next set of scores will be released in October 2010.

Each school will decide how best to raise its grade and each university is currently plotting its secret green strategy for the year. The chancellor of the losing school will deliver the Sustainability Cup to the chancellor of the winning school and will prepare a sustainable meal for the chancellor of the winning school using locally grown products.
