I know we’ve all been told countless times to “reduce, reuse and recycle” and “reduce our carbon footprints,” but after hearing it so often, these things eventually lose meaning to us. We need to be reminded of the important message behind these catchy sayings, because if we don’t start taking environmentalism more seri- ously, the consequences will be dire. According to the Intergov- ernmental Panel on Climate Change, global warming is mostly human-caused, and if we don’t act soon, we could be facing serious dangers. We could be looking at extreme weather, flooding and droughts, food shortages, health risks and increased tensions that could lead to violent conflicts. Basi- cally, the world is going to hell in a hand basket. I’m sure this is all infor- mation you’ve heard before. But what most people don’t understand is how fast it is happening. A Global Change report tells us that the effects of global warming are occur- ring right now, and they will only get worse from here. We could be dealing with extreme circumstances in just a few short decades. That is why we have to act now. 6 Friday, September 12, 2014 | The Rocky Mountain Collegian collegian.com “Little things can be let go or quickly fixed, but if you dread coming home to your roommate every day, know you have the power to change your living situation.” Should I stay or should I go?

The 6-1 Rams will travel to Las Cruces, New Mexico looking to extend a perfect 14-0 re- cord last season away from Moby Arena with wins on Friday against No. 9 BYU and New Mexico State, and Texas-El Paso on Saturday. “Now we've got to focus on a three weekend in a row road swing where we play some great teams,” head coach Tom Hilbert said during Tuesday's press conference. “I know my team is tired but it is a big test time for us.” “This is one of the tougher sched- ules that we’ve ever had,” Hilbert added. “All of our preseason teams are very good and challenging, and I think five or six of them are better than every team we played last year. We could be a .500 team in non-con- ference and be better than last year.” CSU has competed against BYU more than any team in the country with the exception of rival north Wy- oming.
