Our view: More than just milk Print E-mail

Inexperienced congressman’s comments downplay disaster

After a three-hour tour of the Gulf of Mexico, U.S. Rep. Gene Taylor, D-Miss., said people should know it’s not Armageddon or Hurricane Katrina.

“That chocolate milk-looking spill starts breaking up in smaller pieces ...” he said. “It is tending to break up naturally.”

People ignorant of environmental issues should not comment on the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, because they lack expertise to give an accurate opinion.

The University of Idaho and its efforts toward sustainability have been recognized as one of the nations top 286 colleges to go green by the Princeton Review.

The “Guide to 286 Green Colleges” was based upon several criteria that characterize a school as demonstrating a “notable commitment to sustainability,” said Andrew Carman, the student programs coordinator for UI’s Sustainability Center. 

The criteria was based upon certain areas of sustainability in a university, including where the school’s energy comes from and how much it uses, what percentage of the food budget goes to local food, whether a school employs a sustainability officer and how much a curriculum emphasizes sustainability at a university.

In the final days of pop-punk's glory, Amber Pacific was the new kid on the scene. With a band full of fresh faces and tons of potential, it was thought that they were destined to succeed.

The title of their debut album was The Possibility and the Promise, an apt description of what the band represented.     

Following this debut, the band came out of the studio with Truth In Sincerity. Both fans and critics praised Amber Pacific's sophomore effort due to the copious amount of catchy tunes and realism the band sought to promote.
