...Americans like to say, 'This ain't rocket science.' The Russians have oil and gas - tons of it - and we need it. We need it now. We'll need it tomorrow. And we'll still need it decades from now.

Harvard students have a reputation for demanding change and supporting environmental and animal welfare causes that also benefit the health and well-being of students and campus relations. I applaud HUDS for taking many steps to reduce their dining “food print,” but I hope to see a student-led initiative that demands even more sustainable...
