‘Week of Living Light’ activities continue Thursday, Friday
Thursday, Oct. 22, is the official “Vegetarian Day” as a part of the university’s “A Week of Living Light.” Students who have signed up to participate in this event will have the opportunity to eat vegetarian meals in Klages Dining Hall. All students and employees are encouraged to consider how much energy and resources are involved in the raising, feeding, and transportation of livestock — and the eventual preparation of meat products — and reflect upon how this lengthy process affects our planet.
Also, Friday is “Au Naturale Day” so be sure to skip those morning showers and embrace the satisfaction of knowing that the numerous gallons of water, and the energy used to heat that water, has not gone to waste. Please also take this opportunity to reflect on how much water you use to wash dishes, flush a toilet, or to wash your hands.
