...bike that’s made entirely out of salvaged and recycled parts, that is. The EAC launched the VeriFast program Saturday, April 25, allowing students to rent bikes from their Houses at no charge. The EAC was able to launch the program with a $6,500 grant it received from the Green Crimson Fund. “You can go to the super’s office at any time and reserve a bike,” says Walter, noting that bikes are only currently available at Mather and Cabot Houses. “But we are hoping...
...Should the gods grant the UC the money (and the legal status) required to purchase 45 Mt. Auburn, it still would not be out of the woods. The price of the building itself is nowhere near the end of the expenses this initiative would incur. In the unlikely event that the building can be purchased, there will still be substantial renovation costs to meet. Architects have estimated that the total costs for these upgrades would be approximately $500,000, yet another large sum the UC must feel capable of paying. On top of everything else, there has even been talk...

Members from the Midwest and East where coal is abundant fear that tougher standards would fall disproportionately on coal-fired utilities, forcing a shift to less polluting but more costly natural gas - and a spike in household electric bills. They are asking Waxman to grant free pollution credits to those utilities as well as to raise the cap and stretch out the timeline for reduction of warming gases until technology is developed to capture them. Representatives of energy-intensive industries that have global competition - steel, aluminum, concrete, chemical and pulp and paper - are seeking credits...

His current focus, he said, is to assure that no part of the country bears a disproportionate share of costs. But, regardless of concessions, he added, the emissions cap will guarantee that "environmental integrity" is preserved...
...Students must also make sacrifices. Perhaps every House does not need a $500 grant from the College Events Board for a Yardfest pregame. While it would be disappointing if the Office of Residential Life no longer funded decorations for House Committee events, it would be more devastating to see clerical workers lose their jobs. These trade-offs abound at an institution like Harvard. Luckily, we can still have fun without spending upwards of $10,000 on a House formal...
