It ain’t easy bein’ green

I was going to write a long spiel about what I did this summer and what not, but I’ll get to all that later.  Right now, I’d like to congratulate the College of Mount Saint Joseph for going GREEN.  If you haven’t heard this is the first local college to install a GreenGrid roof atop of the library.  If you haven’t seen the new roof, it’s because it’s on the roof, and you are on the ground.  But it’s there.  I’m cereal.So to show my support with the sis’s goin’ green, I’m typing this blog in green. Everyone knows of course that the Mount uses a large amount of Times New Roman black font, which of course adds to the visual mammalian pineal stagnation circadian carbon footprint of the college and destroys the hypo-thalamic radial anti-symmetric font environment.  The science is undeniable and proven.  So, to combat this problem, all students should write their papers, homework, etc., in green.  And to further offset the Times New Roman or “TNR pollution”, everyone should adopt the following font: Consolas.  Which I will now switch to. The green roof on the library will save 25-50 percent on heating and cooling costs, which along with severely restricted summer operation hours should cut the cost of the library significantly.  This will make using the library resources easy and free for students to check out books and other materials.   Also, when you get a chance, make sure you check out the photo gallery of the new roof here: http://www.msj.edu/view/about-the-mount/facilities/installation-of-green-roof-august-6-2008.aspx 

Make sure you ignore the huge diesel powered cranes in the background, and dont think about the hours of transportation of the materials on large gas-powered carbon emitting trucks that Weston solutions inc. used to construct the roof.  Just take time to stop and smell the flowers that spell out “MSJ” as you walk to the bookstore to buy hundreds of dollars of paper manufactured books.  And if you have some cash left over, it might be a good idea to invest in Weston solutions stock. I have a feeling they’ll be getting more business as other colleges follow the Mount’s lead.

Dude! Next time they'll hire a slew of rickshaws (sp?) to bring the crop over.
