Lead: MIT's campus has had a ranging opinion on the importance of its environmental impact over the years. Going from law suits with the Environmental Protection Agency to working its own nuclear reactor and developing energy efficient buildings, MIT has transitioned and made actions to combat their previous indifference to the environment.

Previous history of neglect/turnaround: Go into detail on the lawsuits and anything I can find prior regarding the campus's environmental impact, and the response to the suit with new programs and initiatives to address issues of pollution and energy demand. In 1998, MIT was found to be in violation of several hazardous waste laws, and was required by the Environmental Protection Agency to address these violations. MIT's reaction was to create three large scale projects on campus to change its affects on the surrounding environment and emissions in 2001. http://news.mit.edu/2001/epa-0425

Energy efficient buildings: How the new buildings are more efficient and what sets them apart/ the design philosophy for making them more efficient and still useful.

Nuclear Reactor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_Nuclear_Research_Reactor

Subsidies and cooperation with outside companies/organizations: Stuff like the bus subsidy, being more efficient with energy and heat, and using better fuel for the shuttles.

NEED MORE SOURCES AND HARD CORE DATA/ FACTS. This so far is just an outline of what I want to do, need to bring the pieces together and actually make it happen.
