Did you know? The Class of 2011 is being encouraged to adopt a greener lifestyle! This insightful article from the Trib mentions that NU admins have ordered up a slew of waterbottles that students can bring to dining halls for a 10% discount. So you're only stuck paying $8.10 for your medicore lunch. What a steal!

Never mind that making these waterbottles probably did more harm to the environment than the items themselves ever will do good. If these kids are anything like the classes of 2008-2010, their swag is going to end up under their bed, never to be seen again when the dust bunnies get too vicious. Maybe NU could start going green in a less ridiculous way. Say, by forcing certain windbag professors to keep the hot air to a minimum.
