Georgia Tech landed on another top 10 list, but this one had nothing to do with academics or engineering.

Sierra magazine ranked Tech as No. 2 in the nation for being the most green.

The list released Tuesday highlighted the college's environmentally-conscious activities, such as preventing dining hall waste and encouraging students to take at least one course in sustainability.

The top spot went to University of California, Davis.
