Jen Cohen's repeated emphasis on UW's "commitment to sustainability"

Who said I was upset? I identified an hypocrisy and commented on it. Like Canadawg, you're missing the point here, or else reacting reflexively based on ideology.1to392831weretaken said:Weird thing to be upset about. Like @CFetters_Nacho_Lover said, you either have an AD or you don't. In the current environment, it was increase carbon footprint or die, so UW chose to not die. Same as Ghana completely deforesting their country for charcoal when gas prices tripled and they couldn't afford it. Easy to be shortsighted when it's that or starve. Doesn't make the deforestation good.
Reducing energy consumption is a good thing regardless of charter jet fuel consumption that keeps the show going. Even if you're the rolling coal type, it saves the AD money in the long run, and that's good no matter how many hours per day you spend in the Tug.
If you're going to do it anyway, might as well brag about it when your school is located in a place like Seattle.
TL;DR: Who cares? -
More cheap energy is a GOOD thing
It's so first world to worry about it

Virtue signaling?! They ditched paper tickets. What more would you have of them.
Seriously I'm all for sustainability when one can actually identify reasonable opportunities. WTF can a football team or athletic program do to be environmentally sustainable in any meaningful way? Are they going to eliminate single use plastics? Make people bring their own refillable drinking vessels? Only play day games (no lights) and eliminate sideline coolers for the players?
I don't see it. It's a faggy buzz word meant to placate people who feed on buzz words and catch phrases and don't watch football anyways. As a tree hugging libtard (nevermind I'm the only non logger in my family and have never had strained relationships over it) I cringe when the AD uses words like that.

They probably have banned straws and are using biodegradable sporks. That's about the extent of what they can do short of switching their football schedule to an SEC format where they don't leave the PNW for any road games.chuck said:Virtue signaling?!

I’m #TeamAbundance on this one. You can call out the hypocrisy AND praise the AD for doing what they can to help the environment that’s under their control.
The smugness is grating, I’ll grant you, but honestly that sweet, sweet FREE VIRTUE PUB! is one of the few things that drives organizations to do the right thing.

PlaylistDerekJohnson said:Enough already. You just joined the Big 10. Your athletes will be traversing the continent on the regular, traveling countless thousands of more miles with an increased carbon footprint. And yet your athletic department continues to beat its chest about "sustainability."
How about a halftime marching band tribute to fossil fuels?
Normally I'd take this to the Tug Tavern. But its pertinent here on the main board.
1. Sixteen Tons - Tennessee Ernie Ford
2. Classical Gas - Mason Williams
3. Fuel - Metallica -
Stalin got you pretty upset over that IU Mango Pepsi post, huh?YellowSnow said:

Its Seattle.
Gotta give lip service to this shit.
I doubt Cohen and the AD give two shits. Or even Cauce, who is now a verified badass -
