Ah, the holidays: a season of gifts and songs about snowflakes and elves that you secretly love. It’s the season of consumerism but hey, it makes us happy. But aside from the money and time we spend, how much environmental damage does all this shopping cause? And more importantly, how can we make this a joyful season for the planet?

You’re at a party having the time of your life. You head over to the refreshments table for a pick-me-up, and there it is: that suspicious white powder you’ve seen more and more lately, tempting you…

As someone whose entire high school wardrobe consisted of jorts and tanks, preparing for the winter is a big deal. I don’t care what any Northerners say, winter (and let’s be real, fall and spring as well) in the Hill demands a lot of layers, requiring some serious shopping.

Anyone who knows me knows that unless I get a decent dose of exercise — and the post-workout rush of endorphins — I’m a bit … cranky. And I’m not alone. Studies show that, along with the obvious physical benefits of movin’ and groovin’, there are awesome mental benefits: better creativity and memory, and decreased anxiety and stress.

Since Woodstock, music festivals have been huge crowd pleasers, allowing fans to condense the experience of a dozen concerts, along with the chance to meet artists and maybe enjoy some adult (occassionally illegal) activities, into a few exhilarating days.

The environmental movement is one that affects everybody and should be a factor in decision-making in all sectors. However, there is a distasteful undercurrent running through the roots of the tree-hugger crusade, and it is one that this country has struggled long and hard with throughout history: prejudice.

It seems like the term “superfood” has been thrown around the nutrition world a lot lately. And indeed, the superfood industry generated more than $10 billion in 2011.

The so-called test-tube burger (or, in a slightly less appetizing twist, the “Frankenburger”) is the culmination of a five-year experiment by Dutch scientist Mark Post. It involved growing cattle stem cells in-vitro into 20,000 strands of protein. The “meat” was then combined with salt, breadcrumbs and egg powder and formed into a patty.

Although it seems like “global warming” has long been a common term, it only entered the cultural vernacular recently as climate change was being accepted by the majority of Americans. And like many serious phenomena, the public has turned global warming into something we have perfected the art of: an object of pop culture.

Though I was impressed by UNC students’ participation in this election — anyone who doubts our involvement should have seen the Pit on Election Day — I also noticed a restrictive way of thinking. There is a clear partisan divide over certain issues, most obviously between the environment and the economy.

As part of the 2009 Climate Action Plan, UNC pledged to reduce its carbon footprint to zero by 2050. This is a noble goal, and I have no doubt that we have the potential to meet it.

At the N.C. State game on Oct. 27, UNC students should show they can beat State in more ways than just football.

With blue recycling bins dotting every hallway on campus, UNC has certainly earned its ‘A’ for the second year in a row in the Food and Recycling category of the College Sustainability Report Card.

Sometimes I use this column to explain a new invention or policy, sometimes to encourage everyone to adopt a more eco-friendly way of living. But today I want to do something a little different: I’m going to tell you about my weekend.

UNC has gained accolades in the past few years for its commitment to environmentally sound buildings. The Sustainability Office even specifies that all new University buildings since 2008 must meet silver performance standards for LEED, a national environmental rating system.

As you might guess from the vegetarian stations in both campus dining halls and the prevalence of all-vegetarian restaurants, Chapel Hill is a pretty veg-friendly place.

For students who find the 2 a.m. trek from Bob’s to BSki’s a little bit daunting, Chapel Hill Town Council seems to have come up with a solution: food that drives to you.

You really shouldn’t be reading this. No, I’m not telling you to stop reading my column. As a writer, I believe in the power of the written word, in the importance of journalism, in the First Amendment — all that jazz.
