this is surreal.
they want to highlight the "fact" that football games produce a ton of greenhouse gasses. to help combat this problem,
...UF and its partners, the Florida Forestry Association and Environmental Defense, are arranging for approximately 18 acres of rural North Florida land to be set aside and managed as a pine plantation forest for 10 years. UF calculates that this is an acreage and period of time sufficient to absorb all the carbon emissions from the game.
according to Deedee Delongpre', director of UF's "Office of Sustainability",
At 18 acres for one game, some quick calculations reveal that we would need 126 acres to be managed for 10 years just to offset our football program for one year,” she said.
in a statement released from his office, Governor Crist approves, and will attend the game.
this is being hyped as the "first" carbon-neutral game ever. with 3 losses, i guess it's nice to be "first" in something...
go gators.
3 A.M. update--i can't sleep, this stuff is really bugging me. the more i read of this "office of sustainability" at UF, the more i want to puke. what a commie front. i'm going to this game tomorrow, and these whiners want to make me feel bad about it? i think a good old-fashioned protest could be in order...
