I thought everyone spoke like I did, which was a little like John F. Kennedy, coming from Eastern Massachusetts. Such experiences give you that self-awareness which hopefully broaden your horizons. Good luck!

Use your developed sense of conservation to pry back the top of what will be a screaming, stinking can of worms: Higher Education resource consumption. Try to make campus less the polar opposite of the scenic places you cherish. Fight for visible demonstration projects that encourage action not just thinking. K-12 is the awareness raising period. Now we need action and transformation. Changing behavior isn't easy so be gentle but firm. Make something happen, but make it last. Good luck! - Scott Points Fri, 01 Jun 2007 14:50:18 +0100
