(lytfliUIMltfEblllSEHfi College hosts first-ev- er Mr. Wooster competition Because of the influence it has over the population, the media is sometimes considered the fourth branch of the government and every news station, magazine, newspaper and Internet site has something to say about the future of the planet. Environmentally-consciou- s people are becoming a growing demo- graphic and all areas of the media are beginning to target this group. After Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" (2006), scholarly battles about the topic of global warming increased and earned high ratings. Some people are finally grasping the magnitude of environmental problems and others are struggling to accept the implications. There are debates and discussion about the implications and possibilities of catastrophe, and whether or not the cli- - alliSOnpaSSerO mate changes really exist. It is hard to remove oneself from the buzzing commentaries and arguments between the pop-

-- ulations, or from the satirical rebuttals from comedians and social commenta- " tors. All of this attention makes one wonder how these different representations pi will affect the behaviors of the public and if there is any way to. turn this circus of debate into a positive thing. In the past, the media has been a tool for social change and I hope that it can reclaim its title. It iis important to keep in mind when evaluating information on the environ- ment that the individual does have an impact and can affect change. So the next time you tune in to any of the growing popular programs about climate change, don't despair. There are a number of things that can be done to solve this problem, starting with your lights Just changing a regular incandescent light bulb to a compact fluorescent bulb saves 150 pounds of carbon dioxide each year. Driving less and walking or biking more will save one pound of carbon diox- ide per mile. Recycling will save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year and currently, the College recycles 43 percent of its waste. Keeping your tires inflat- ed properly will not only improve gas mileage, but also saves 20 pounds of car- bon dioxide and saves money. Washing your clothes in cold water saves 500 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. College students receive a lot of packages, and reducing the amount of packaging will save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide and cut down garbage by ten percent. The next time you begin to feel discouraged about climate change, remember: there are things that can be and are being done. v For information regarding the College's efforts to become more sustainable, X please check out the Environmental Task Force Web site at http:www.woost-er.eduetfhistor- y. html, or join us at one of our Greenhouse meetings,-whic- h take place on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. in Lowry 119.
