A clean coal-lective
Usage of the worst carbon dioxide emitter and overall polluter - coal - is still prevalent in our society in surprising forms. The University's very own coal plant, located on the Corner, spews harmful amounts of carbon dioxide and poisons, such as mercury and lead, into the atmosphere just across from the University's state-of-the-art health system. To protect the health of our patients, the University institutes a "clean air zone" preventing smoking in the area. Yet within this same clean air zone, the University knowingly burns coal.
