Meatless Fridays.... er, Mondays?

The Union and Dining Committee is working with Environmental Affairs committee, the Health and Safety Committee and the dietetics club to get more vegetarian options on campus, including the launch of Meatless Mondays. [Ever heard of Meatless Fridays?]

"Eating less meat can help lower our carbon footprint," Leah Korger, chair of Union and Dining, said. "Industrialized meat production accounts for more greenhouse gasses than all forms of transportation combined."  [Stupid environmentalism]

These groups are working together to get calorie labeling on all food items on campus and to look into starting a compost program on campus.

Environmental Affairs is working on reducing the amount of plastic water bottles on campus and has installed a new water bottle filling station in the Union that has now filled almost 5,000 water bottles. [Smart environmentalism]

You may have noticed and yes, a relative ... a distant relative.... 

I'll keep my Meatless Fridays, thank you very much.   And I will keep them for the much more worthy Cause.
