Some outside of the Harvard community have asked, why "Greed is The New Crimson"?

Well, the answer is simple. It's a play on the recent (and very public) initiative to green the Harvard campus. All across Harvard Yard are banners that read "Green is the new Crimson" along with a myriad of wonderful initiatives coming from the Office for Sustainability and the Environmental Action Committee (EAC).

We have no intention of being critical of the green work taking place on campus but wanted to spin a phrase that we knew all members of the Harvard community would recognize.

We hope that green initiatives can assist in the solution to our budget crisis by helping to reduce unnecessary expenses that can both save the environment and save jobs. Click to learn more about Green Jobs.
