Oh, My Aluma Matre

As a graduate of the School of Environmental Studies, I feel very proud as I pass by and look at their newest investment; a wind turbine that is placed just off of their front parking lot.

Although the power it can create isn't as much as I had hoped it to be (just enough power for two homes), the idea that another generation of environmentally educated people will understand all that renewable energy has to offer makes me proud to say that I graduated from such a forward thinking school.

I noticed it's construction a few weeks back on my way to work and it almost brought a tear to my eye (yeah, I'm a sucker for that sort of thing).

I like to think that a lot of who I am was shaped from the knowledge I gained while at the "Zoo School".

I wish I could be at the ribbon cutting, but alas, I am stuck at my unfortunate place of employment.

Without further ado, I bring you more information...
