ABSTRACT

In this chapter we seek to encourage a further productive phase of ‘greening’ in UK institutions of further and higher education (FHE) as they approach the next millennium — an environmental landmark, which has perhaps been given extravagant expectations through Agenda 21. The need to galvanize and mobilize FHE is argued because the early waves and momentum of greening are threatened by the increasingly competitive and resource-constrained climate in which institutions are operating. Paradoxically, this has occurred at a time when individual and collective achievements have created the opportunity for environmental good practice to yield substantial benefits.
