Environmental Opinions

How's it going, eh? What's with all these bull-dozers pulling down trees and paving our land? You'd think that there must be some grand use for all this wood that we have to remove it from the university's land, but the only evidence of that is the piles of pulped and bleached trees that appears every other Friday. But mathNEWS isn't even made from local trees.

All this tree killing seems to be making way for a big technology park. That sounds like luxury to me. Where is the research into solar and wind power? And while we're at it, where is the reforestation going to take place? Issues like this need addressing now.

Well hold on there just a second, Joe, it looks like you've got some of your ideas backwards. What's this about us owning land? The Earth is not something that people can just buy or sell — people have no authority over it, eh.

So just relax and we can talk out these problems instead of ranting aimlessly to an audience who may not want to hear these comments.

But maybe that's just me (a composite trying to be accurate).
