Greenfire Tired of that shoe rack? Looking for books for next term? Eliminate shipping costs and reduce your resource consumption by buying and selling on the new Lawrence Exchange website! It's kind of like Craigslist, but just for LU students! *hint: if you go to the "Products" page you have to click the "Search" button to see all the listings, or you can enter search parameters*

Hm, anyone else have any comments? I'll be submitting these early next week so speak up if there's anything missing from the list! Think of the things that bother you about the cafeteria, cafe, or store.

Ok, here's another: open earlier! Lunch should be open by 11 and dinner should be open by 5. Not really related to environmental impacts but a suggestion anyways...

Stacey Day or just bookmark Jill Richardson's kick-butt blog, www.lavidalocavore.com, but this has to do with the evil CAFO planned for Rosendale that I mentioned at the meeting tonight!

The WI Dept of Natural Resources found that a new 11,5000 cow dairy would be an environmental disaster... and approved it anyway. Yikes! What to do? Details below.
