Cornell Really Likes Environment; Picks New Face of "Really Liking The Environment"

Cornell Really Likes Environment; Picks New Face of "Really Liking The Environment"
You may notice more and more environment-conscious sights popping up on Cornell's campus and, frankly, I resent it.  But this isn't about me, it's about Cornell, which apparently resents me for resenting Cornell's tree-hugging tendencies.

Most recently, the university named professor Frank DiSalvo (above, next to speech bubble) as the new interim director of the Cornell Center for a Sustainable Future, a center which, apparently, actually exists.  Beyond Frank's contributions to Mother-in-Law Nature, and, believe me, they are many*, Cornell has moved in a greener direction in general.  (I could insert any number of intentionally lame jokes about "green" being currency which would, invariably, lead to a commentary on the inflated cost of tuition.  Please assume I did all of those things and ended it with an emphatic "Hey-o!")

Among the things being made greener are Mandible, the new cafe in Mann Library that uses compost and recycles stuff or something along those lines; Moosetracks, another cafe in Anabel Taylor that does pretty much the same thing as Mandible (copy cat! Hey-o!); Kermit D. Frog; and I'm sure there are plenty of other things you can read about here.  Also on Cornell's Sustainable Campus website (click the link above because I'm too lazy to make another one) is a Green Report which, I guess, evaluates how green shit is.  Apparently, pretty green, but not green enough.**

*Most American doctors recommend that you do not believe me as there is little founding in reality in anything I say/type.

**As if we don't add enough green to Cornell with all our tuition!  Ba-zing!
