Happy Earth Day!

Campus is quiet on this cloudy, but serene Earth Day as all the students are out on break until Monday. I thought I would share this TED Talk video by one of our favorite activists, Van Jones. It is called "The Economic Injustice of Plastic" and does an amazing job of demonstrating the interconnectedness of environmental, social, and economic issues---which is certainly one of the driving forces of our Woolman curriculum. Enjoy!
