Interesting article on why we need to ban plastic on campus. When fish injest bits of plastic they float and cannot swim down to eat, and then they die.

“When people ask me ‘What can I do?’ — I say, ‘There’s two things. One, you must realize that, unlikely though it seems, your little life does make a difference, what you do each day. And secondly, leading from that, people must learn a little bit more and think a littlebit more about the consequences of the choices we make each day — what we eat, where it comes from, how it was made, has it got chemical poisons in it, whether it involves the torture of animals.” — Jane Goodall.
To help us make better choices in our purchases we can shop at a new “green” store the Green Wagon at 4429 Murphy Rd. (across from McCabe’s Golf Course). Everything is made America, and many of the products are made in Middle Tennessee. They are all environmentally friendly.
For some Green Driving Solutions contact Chris@greendrivingsolutions.com The store has the DVD for sale.
The campus bookstore now has recycled paper products. 30% post-consumer content. Check it out!
