New York University (NYU) has awarded more than $115,000 in Sustainability Fund Grants to 15 projects dedicated to furthering the university's greening efforts. The grants range from $1,000 to $40,000. One project, "The Green Apple Move-Out," plans to collect and recycle or donate student belongings discarded during move-out, such as bicycles, books, cell phones, clothes, computers, glasses and linens. In another project, two students will analyze the LEED status of 12 NYU buildings, then plan renovations to update them within the next five to 10 years.
