Going Green: how UW students can start being environmentally friendly today
(04/18/19 2:58pm)
As a school with a student body of over 40,000, the UW-Madison community has a huge opportunity to contribute to positive environmental change. The university has gone so far to raise awareness about the importance of living sustainably to even create an Office of Sustainability. Although resources through the Office of Sustainability are available to all students, not all students take advantage of them or are even aware of the office’s existence. As a large school with a proportionally large environmental impact, it is vital that students are aware of ways to live a more environmentally-friendly life. Not all commitments to sustainability need to be drastic. Some students think that they lack the time to create a more sustainable routine, or that it can be too expensive for students to buy products that are better for the environment, for example. But simple changes such as turning off lights, recycling, composting and using the bus can make a difference, and are easy to implement.

Cardinal View: Women's health programs at UW are a step in the right direction
(02/21/19 8:57pm)

Cardinal View: Evers is best choice for next governor
(10/11/18 5:23pm)
There is little glamour to the governorship of a state — at least here in the Midwest.
