As for my favorite topping, just yesterday I was rereading "Ash Wednesday" by T.S.

And that which had been contained In the bones (which were already dry) said chirping: Because of the goodness of this Lady And because of her loveliness, and because She honours the Virgin in meditation, We shine with brightness.

    last issue of the year! good luck with finals! volume 15 - issue 13 - tuesday, april 29, 2014 - uvm, burlington, vt uvm.edu/~watertwr - thewatertower.tumblr.com - @thewatertower by wesdunn by jessebaum and joetaft Last week, UVM celebrated Earth Week—and campus was full of local food, activist-y sentiments and free t-shirts. Earth Day began 44 years ago—the prod- uct of first wave of environmentalism, back when vegetarianism was looked at the way veganism is viewed now(as crazy and as- cetic at best), and climate change was just a glimmer in most liberals’ eyes. Earth Day started with the idea that the holiday would be a day to draw awareness to the rape of our planet, but has since become a day that fosters inaction. In essence, Earth Day—or Earthweek, as we do it here, is greenwash- ing the movement—a token. But let’s back up a little here.
