<p>This is so great! As if I don’t have enough reasons to love Princeton already. I call myself an environmentalist, and I want to be part of a college that cares.</p>

<p>I am really pleased! I intend to major in environmental and civil engineering at Princeton with engineering biology as a minor! :slight_smile: And this is great news! As angelutza said, I love Princeton all the more now</p>

<p>this is awesome! as a top-notch university, it’s quite appropriate for princeton to demonstrate some good-natured foresight. a cutting edge school should be… well, on the cutting edge. </p>

<p>as an envirothon-er, i especially appreciate these types of decisions from schools i am looking at.</p>

<p>any other envirothon members on this board?</p>
