Sustainability Shmushtainability

Fall-Leaves

I was walking past the amphitheatre today when I noticed a university employee cleaning up gutters and sidewalks with a leafblower. Now the University of Oregon recently received a “B” on a fake “sustainability report card” by a group no one cares about.

I’m just wondering where the gas-powered leafblower fits into all this. Hasn’t anyone ever heard of a rake?

Conversely, I’m wondering how the universities who did poorly on their fake “sustainability report card” get rid of their leaves every fall.

My guess?

Gasoline.
