Enviro-hypocrisy By Michel Schwartz Executiw Editor As I walked around the campus this past week, I noticed a lot of pamphlets about improving the environment, T-shirts and sweatshirts that invite people to help celebrate Columbia's Earth Week, petitions that advocate improve ments in our recycling program and a whole lot of garbage. Maybe it's just me, but the school seemed especially littered this week. Although it is true that every day is Earth Day, I find it rather ironic that as I listened to the rhetoric about the environment all week, I saw garbage everywhere. I've heard different people say that they want to improve the state of the ozone layer and they want to learn how to better lalce care of our planet At the time, I thought to myself, ''That's great." But then I saw how we have treating our world - Columbia College. Our carpets look like someone had target practice on them, our eleVIIIOrS arc marked up with a different tag every day, garbage is left all over the place, we waste things like crazy and we don't have a consistent recycling program. Charity begins at home. It's nice to have big ideas, but let's not allow our global vision to act as an excuse to not act locally. Dear~ James Dear James, Ask and you shall receive. I'm sorry. I never referred to YOU as a pant-wetting info-bully. Rather. I was referring to the mass as a whole who carry on and on about how bad the paper looks, how it doesn't represent the school, how there arc no good journalists, etc.lt seems that there arc too many people with an opinion on how this paper should be, but not enough people who arc willing to do anything about it. I will admit that stating "pigs will be flying when you become a good journalist" was u bit uncalled for, but so was saying I'm not erodible. Just because you don't agree with my opinion docs not mean I am not credible. It means we have different taste in movies. You liked Gn11t1 w1d I l110ught it sucked; simple as that.
