There's contact info on press releases. Maybe that person can provide that information. Actually, I meant: what did UCLA say? There’s contact info on press releases.

The categories were: academics, administration, efficiency, energy, food, purchasing, transportation and waste management. So I guess the first step in getting schools to think about the water issue is to get Sierra asking about it.

It got a C- though, and I know it can be doing better. But all the new buildings are some level of LEED, and they're working on making big changes over there. Even when I started there in '01, we had "brown is beautiful" signs on the lawns and big posters in all the buildings showing energy use over time and challenging us to be more frugal with electricity.
