...percent,” Kreycik said. Robert Gogan, supervisor of Waste Management at the University, estimated that about half of Harvard’s departments currently purchase 30 percent recycled paper. Dara B. Olmsted ’00, HGCI’s Special Projects Coordinator, said the biggest barrier to a total switch to recycled paper is Harvard’s decentralization. Because each department of each school purchases its own supplies, it is more difficult to make all the purchasers aware of the new contract. In the past, recycled paper was considered inferior in quality and sometimes caused printers...
...rack up huge additional fees in their first month. What’s especially frustrating is that using text messages is hard to avoid. Even if carriers didn’t make it difficult, if not impossible, to call and disable the feature, friends serve as the biggest exit barrier. People who send a text message expect another back in reply, especially during lectures or movies where talking is taboo...
...reading of societal affairs is worthy of our attention. This same sort of trap breeds academics like Cornel R. West, the professor whom former University President Lawrence H. Summers rightly forced out after he failed to present any academic work more substantial than a rap recording.We see this barrier in Shvarts’s project too. Take, for instance, the guest column published in the Yale Daily News last Friday, in which Shvarts laid claim to her project. She wrote, “Just as it is a myth that women are ‘meant?...
...cost is prohibitive. Gasification plants with CCS would be up to 40 percent more expensive to build, while retrofitting plants would mean major technological modifications. Estimates place the cost of electricity production at 30 to 40 percent higher with CCS than without. In Massachusetts, moreover, there is yet another barrier: CCS requires storage of liquefied CO2 in natural geological reservoirs, which don’t exist in New England. Pipelining liquefied CO2 out-of-state would be an infrastructural and financial challenge. Until technological improvements or a geological miracle significantly lowers the cost of CCS, both private-sector and public...
...don’t want to skip class. When I skip class, it’s because of lack of sleep or work. So a site like this really wouldn’t be an incentive for me to skip class. It would just be a nice safety barrier...
