Student Union Senate has passed a resolution calling for numerous campus businesses to replace plastic bags with paper ones. The resolution, which was drafted by a campus initiative called Another Step Towards Sustainability, expresses Student Union’s support for the reduction of plastic bag use on campus.

This past Monday, I read a StudLife article (published by Matthew Curtis, titled “Fake sustainability robs students”) criticizing the efforts of Jake Lyonfields, SU’s executive adviser of sustainability, and members of SU’s Green Events Commission to end the distribution of plastic bags on our campus and establish a more sustainable campus bag policy.
