he “sustainability director” at a Virginia university has some novel advice for students heading home for Christmas: consider not actually purchasing a gift for someone in order to lessen your greenhouse gas emissions.
“We’re trying to keep in mind that our carbon footprint is something that can expand during the holidays,” Calandra Waters Lake, Director of Sustainability at the College of William & Mary, told the school’s news service.
Waters Lake offered students several tips for how to “be wise…through our purchases, through food that we eat, through the activities that we’re doing” over the winter break. Among those? Consider not actually buying someone a Christmas gift.

Regards,
Maybe people can mind their own damn business...
Maybe f%ck off. Or, maybe f%ck off.
Just another communist trying to eliminate Christmas.
I wonder how much of the kids' parents' tuition money is bring spent on this person's salary? And do they know it? What a waste.
Or maybe...wait what? Sustainability director? That’s a thing now?
*** Just another communist trying to eliminate Christmas. ***
Just another communist trying to help destroy the economy.
FOADMF.
If colleges are interested in “sustainability” they need to close their doors immediately and permanently.
Their carbon footprint is huge!
Stop the hypocrisy—shut down the leftist universities!
Maybe to conserve energy this professor should not receive salary.
“I wonder how much of the kids’ parents’ tuition money is bring spent on this person’s salary? And do they know it? What a waste.”
.....
Well....The University of Texas has 31 such positions. 85k to start. PHd required. Benefits better than Uncle Sam. Vacation, personal, sick, parental leave equals 9 weeks paid. They even have a few “crisis councilors “ to help the kids deal with the nasty Trump. .....Texas turns blue in a few years.
Just put a lump of coal in his inbox.
Don’t overeat. Don’t drink. Don’t get together with friends and relatives. Don’t fly. Don’t drive. Don’t heat your house. Travel all you want...as long as it’s by foot. Don’t use the electricity gobbling internet and WiFi and optical networks. Don’t put a fire in your fireplace. Don’t flush your toilet too much. Use one square of TP.
But most of all, have yourself a Merry Christmas!
Maybe the director is sustainability should confiscate all electronics including lamps and light bulbs from all the dorm rooms to save the planet. That would be fun to watch. All the ecocommies wearing their save the planet tshirts and pink hats fighting to save their iPhones.
Or better yet, maybe eliminate your position and thus reduce unnecessary general and administrative costs.
Keep your mouth shut, director of sustainability, and decrease your carbon footprint.
Jeesh!
I’d like to be a mouse in the corner at this guy’s house on Christmas. My bet he like other hypocrite elites will have lavish wrapped gifts, but expect us peasants to shiver in our darkened hovels for a joyless Christmas in sacrifice to Mother Gaea.
She could save in printer ink by eliminating one of her last names. Or is Waters Lake her goofy parents’ woo-woo idea of being one with nature?
Does the campus shut down the dorms during each semester break forcing the students to drive home?
Don’t buy junk presents. Wrap them in the student’s research papers from electives so the parents will know how their money is being wasted.
I have a sustainability idea, close all universities and colleges.
