Abstract	This article talks about how the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD) embraced a precedent-setting green policy that would forever change its approach to education. The "greenprint" for how environmental design and construction could be done mandates that all new buildings funded with at least half of the funds from its $2.2 billion Bond Construction Program be developed to fit Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. As a key component of the sustainability policy, the LACCD developed a renewable energy plan that included generating enough on-site, alternative power through solar, wind, geothermal, hydrogen-generation, and storage technologies at each campus to make all nine colleges energy-independent.
