When University President Jehuda Reinharz introduced Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) during EarthFest earlier this month, he committed to ridding Brandeis of plastic bottles. Now that Mr. Reinharz has made this pledge, this campus must hold him to his word.
Brandeis has already demonstrated its commitment to the "greenification" of campus with the construction of environmentally sustainable buildings, and the administration must continue that dedication to preservation by eliminating environmentally destructive plastic bottles from campus.
It seems we have a problem. Though it's true that we have been blessed with the gift of two second-semester vacations, their timing is less than convenient. The first, which falls in the cold weeks of February, comes too soon after our return from winter vacation.
