Tuesday's are awesome days, don't you think? They aren't Monday so the whole week isn't looming over your head, but they're not Wednesday, that awkward hump day, either. Thursday isn't any better because it's still not the weekend, and Fridays...well, no one likes Fridays. Okay, so I'm totally kidding. Tuesday's do kind of suck for the majority of people, however not for me. Tuesday means I have one class at 8 A.M., cross-fit training for soccer to be exact, and it lasts about twenty minutes. After that, my day is free. Yes, you are free to despise me for my luck. :] This second day of the week however, is also the worst day at the cafe by student opinion. Tuesday's are Trayless Tuesday's, making each meal quite inconvenient. If you have more than one plate or cup, you're going to have to make more than one trip to your table and back, and nobody wants to do that. So what's the point of Trayless Tuesday's? It's said that not making trays available for one day a week cuts down on the amount of water, chemicals, and energy used to wash the trays. Does it really, though? Aren't there other ways for the college to be more environmentally savvy? How about using cups and bowls (meant for hot chocolate and ice cream) that are made from paper instead of stryrofoam? Styrofoam takes one million years or more to decompose. Isn't that awful? A paper bag takes one month to decompose, while cardboard takes two months. Now those amounts sound like music to my ears compared to one million years. Come on college administration - start with the simple "green" things first before you inconvenience your students.
Happy Ash Wednesday and all my renewable love,
