Role of campuses in Environmental protection
             Environment protection is one of the most burning issues these days with
             people complaining about the negative effects of various business and
             social activities on ecology. In this connection, green movement activities
             and environmentalists around the globe are urging people to pay closer
             attention to the consequences of many activities with may even appear
             harmless on the surface. Urban areas are the special victims of
             environmental destruction. Orr (19991) writes: "It is becoming increasingly
             apparent that our present environmental crisis is evidence of a prior
             failure of mind and perception- which is to say, a failure of education.
             The loss of species, topsoil, rain forests, and impending climate change are
             not primarily technological problems or even economic ones. They are first
             and foremost about how we think about the world we inhabit". However while
             we do know how cities are contributing to destruction of ecology, we simply
             fail to understand how colleges and universities could also be playing an
             influential role in this connection. Louisiana Tech or any other
             institution needs to understand that role educational institutions can play
             in saving the environment. Tech must therefore closely follow the example
             of other institutions in this connection. Noel Perrin in his article on the
             issue clearly describes the green programs of various universities and
             colleges thereby showing their contribution to ecology preservation.
             Some people may argue that Louisiana Tech doesn't need to participate in
             such programs for it is not contributing to environment destruction.
             However this is a completely illogical viewpoint because only there are
             many different ways in which colleges and universities contribute to
             environmental problems. for one we must keep in mind that tech would
             certainly be a better place if it implements some sound green programs
             including recycling and...
