Each scene displayed a different color scheme: Earth models wore brown-tones, Fire models wore red-tones, Water models...
...Switching to CFLs is the sexiest and greenest thing you can do,” undergraduates descended upon the Malkin Athletic Center quad Saturday to learn about different ways to contribute to sustainability. The Environmental Action Committee (EAC) sponsored the event that brought together an array of campus groups—from the Harvard College Democrats to the Harvard Outing Club—to encourage students to be involved in environmental efforts. “We are trying to make this a community event, something everyone can participate in to make sustainability a part of everyday life...
