Going Green projects, postion statement, and other odds and ends

So once again, I post the day after class, hope this still will work, I always forget until the next day, so anyways. I write for the spectrum and with our class talking about the going green project and organic and such I found it interesting that I was assigned to write an article for the spectrum about the AIAS group and their recycle receptacles that they designed and will build over the summer to replace the 'wishing wells' around campus to recycle glass, plastic, paper and much more. I hadn't really thought that this "Green Movement" was taking off but with local food, organic farming, recycling, and all these projects and organizations working to help the environment I realize how important it is that we keep sustaining our natural resources and help to preserve this world for future generations. This English class has really opened my eyes to issues such as GMOs and Organic Farming.
Also, I am doing my position statement on CAFOSand seem to be having some trouble finding any positive articles about the issue. If anyone knows of a good pro-CAFOS site I would greatly appreciate the info. Thanks :)
Another thing that I just wanted to jot down was that this week is Earth Week in case you didn't know which I am sure everyone does by now, anyways I found it interesting that we had the no tray day yesterday. I mean yes we didn't use as much water but yet we used water that we don't usually use to was the tubs that the excess food and each different utensil was put into and for the wiping down of the tables due to the excess mess caused by the absence of the trays. Just a thought. See you all in class.
