In Thursday’s lead editorial (“An enlightened decision,” Nov. 20), The Cavalier Daily was right to recognize the importance of the Lighting of the Lawn Committee’s decision to change to energy-efficient LED bulbs.
The Lighting of the Lawn Committee is setting an example for our entire community in this year’s greener, more responsible event. Switching to LED lights for the Lighting of the Lawn truly represents a growing student interest in making our University, and University traditions, ones that are environmentally sustainable.
These new lights will be used for decades to come, each year serving as a reminder of our commitment to sustainability. This sort of investment in the future of the University is a core tenet to sustainable living, and we should applaud this very public example of students working to make U.Va. a greener place.
