I believe that UWF could do better in terms of recycling, energy use and attitude. They have the notion to recycle but in my opinion the university hasn’t taken it to the next step. I have seen a set of recycle bins in the library but there doesn’t seem to be an extreme effort put into driving the recycling agenda.
I also believe that President Cavanaugh should join other university presidents in the climate commitment pledge. I believe that you lead by example. If he signs the commitment pledge it will help to better the university as well as the world. He should take action. It may be a lot of work, but I believe that the end result will be well worth it. If for nothing else he should look at it as a way to bring in money.
I don’t believe that it is unusual for a republican to believe in global warming because your political affiliation doesn’t determine your viewpoints. Many people may stereotype republicans this way and democrats another, but what it all comes down to is that we are all human and we all have concerns.
I don’t think that Governor Crist is playing a dangerous game by taking on utilities and industry in his climate change initiatives. He is simply leading by example. He knows what he wants and he is taking the actions necessary to accomplish his goal.
