Building a Sustainable University

Pretty cool report on how IU wants to become sustainable. See Here
Could end up being a model for small towns and cities. For those of you still opposed to sustainability, environment and going green I will use/twist Pascal's Wager in that:

You live as though resources are finite and we are polluting the environment:
1. If you are right, we slow down the use of resources and reduce pollution.
2. If you are wrong, we slow down the use of resources and reduce pollution.
3. Economic impact might be slightly higher, but could be offset from limited consumption.

You live as though resources are infinite and we are not polluting the environment:
1. If you are right, we continue to amass "things" and throw out unneeded items.
2. If you are wrong, we have no place to store such "things" and our environment becomes polluted beyond repair.
3. No economic change other than the "things" you continually amass.


Sure it is a simple, maybe crude example, but why not change our way of thinking that will benefit the entire world, reduce pollution, leave a clean earth for future generations, and take care of what we were entrusted? Just my take.
