America's universities are going green, striving to make campus life environmentally sustainable through eco-conscious buildings and clean energy choices. On Focus Earth this week, Bob Woodruff scans the country's campuses to bring you the latest on how schools are learning to be more sustainable, and giving their students some real-world lessons in how to live green.

As students zip up their backpacks for the Fall semester, Bob investigates the steps that colleges are taking towards sustainability, and reports on which schools are making the green grade. From the dorm room to the classroom, students and administrators are looking at ways they can make the halls of higher learning more environmentally sound, reducing the carbon footprint of their institutions by exploring alternative power sources, and working with architects and builders who have proven eco-credentials. Tune in to get the facts on which universities are leading the way.
