Why I hate the Toyota Prius

By Chris Nelson · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 11:04 p.m.

Why do I have such disdain for the Prius? Aside from its gaudy styling, the Prius is a fake. This “green” car is far from green. It might have phenomenal gas mileage, but that’s not the whole picture. There are many factors that go into a car’s potential damage to the environment, starting from the production line.

By Guest writer · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 10:51 p.m.

Before 2009, there was only one method of waste disposal in the Indiana Memorial Union kitchens: the dumpster. Now, because of initiatives set in place by Nora Kayden, a sustainability intern at IU, hundreds of pounds of waste become useful resources instead of trash.

Folk music: More popular than you think

By Erica Rogers · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 10:31 p.m.
