Going Green

I read an interesting article today in the New York Times about college students who are implementing ways to be eco-friendly.  I thought it was a great idea if everyone is willing to participate. As a way of combatting global warming, students are limiting the length of their showers, turning off the lights when they are not needed and are even turning off the refrigerator and using it as a form of storage for certain foods.  College students across the country are jumping onto this ‘going green’ bandwagon, which is interesting and great to hear.  Perhaps we could start something at OSU because there is a large number of students living in dorms and houses around the campus who probably don’t realize how much energy they are wasting. 

This article could be helpful for our possible ‘how to’ piece as it lists a number of steps people could and should take to overcome global warming.  It might be useful for us to use as a guide along with Steve Cook’s advice.
