    pollution

    The Ohio chemicals disaster is normal — and that’s a bad thing

    Christine KelleyOpinionsMarch 1, 2023

    #OPINION: The Feb. 3 derailment of a Norfolk Southern freight train was a disaster in itself. Local authorities’ decision to burn a few of the cars — releasing deadly vinyl chloride into the atmosphere — is nothing short of a climate crisis, facilitated by capitalist greed and governmental stupidity.

    Fast fashion: The trendy era of a debilitating planet

    Sasha KaganOp-edsOpinionsMarch 3, 2022March 3, 2022

    #OPINION: The fast fashion industry serves as an outlet for cheap and trendy clothing, seemingly an ideal resort, but one fostering many environmental hazards.

    How climate change is being reimagined in fiction

    Justin Chassin2021Earth Day 2021Op-edsOpinionsSpecial IssuesApril 24, 2021

    #OPINION Although it may come as a surprise to some, our generation is being impacted as we speak. A child born today faces health risks to their immune systems from environmental pollutants, along with long-term damage from heightened temperatures and air pollution.

    Why individual actions are dragging down the environmental movement

    Matt Venezia2021Earth Day 2021Op-edsOpinionsSpecial IssuesApril 18, 2021April 24, 2021

    #OPINION: For a sustainable future — and an environmental movement with a tangible, positive impact on climate change — a focus on organized systemic change is necessary.

    COVID-19 presents an opportunity to restructure our society around sustainability

    Matt VeneziaOp-edsOpinionsSeptember 6, 2020

    Though we are still causing catastrophic levels of damage to ecosystems by consuming natural resources at an unsustainable rate, the pandemic has managed to slow us down.

    The plastic straw ban is not helping the overall pollution crisis

    Melissa JonesOpinionsOctober 20, 2019

    Many restaurants have switched from plastic to paper straws to help the ongoing environmental crisis, and some cities have banned plastic straws indefinitely. I question, however, if this effort is actually making any difference.

    Students march for climate change

    Rabia Gursoy & Niki NassiriNewsOctober 2, 2019October 8, 2019

    The climate protest began at the Student Activities Center (SAC) Plaza and made a full circle around the Academic Mall on Sept. 26.

    Suffolk County’s plastic bag fee should be raised

    Maya BrownOpinionsOctober 3, 2018October 14, 2018

    While the five cent charge for plastic bags is a smart environmental idea, a rise in the fee for plastic bags would make this installment much more effective. Would you be willing to pay two dollars for a plastic bag?

    It’s up to us to stop wasting food

    Matthew YanFeaturedOpinionsFebruary 4, 2018

    Why are we routinely dumping this food we’ve paid for?

    Keep my gorge gorgeous

    Daniel BrownFeaturedOpinionsApril 28, 2016May 8, 2016

    This is a world dominated by humans, but not everything needs to be shaped to our design.
