...endorses interdisciplinary teaching and research, especially in the sciences, a furtherance of former University President Lawrence H. Summers’ vision that is necessary if the University is to be a leader of science in the 21st century. The report also emphasizes the importance of an environmentally friendly physical plant.

For a desktop computer it'll be $6. If you're going to spend $800 or $1,000 on a computer, why not spend another $2 or $6 to be carbon neutral...
