Green is the new black for regalia
With all the recent sidewalk chalking for local water and the cries of green organizations last fall during the Republican primary debate on campus in the fall, Dartmouth's green initiatives are hard to ignore. But what does that really mean? Are we trying to set an example for other Ivy League institutions and schools across the United States? I hope so! Are we trying to be cooler than them and say we are greener then they are? Heck yes! But are we actually winning the race? Well, just look at the confused faces of people at Collis when they try to recycle their clearly compostable apple cores. You decide.
For all of us who took the "green" pledge over trips, keep it up, guys! And for seniors, don't forget to pre-order your 23 recycled bottles before May 7.
