This week, the Curious ‘Cat asks Villanova students, “In honor of Elizabeth Kolbert’s ‘The Sixth Extinction,’ what have you done to go green?

Erin Mysogland – “I’ve stopped using plastic bags and have been using plastic containers instead since there’s so much plastic in the ocean.”

Katie Guy – “Recycle! And, I use a reusable bag, when I remember, to take it to the store so I stop using all those plastic bags.”

Connor Kovacs – “I got a canteen water bottle, so I stopped using plastic water bottles.”

Tim Flanagan – “Well I live off campus, so we try and recycle in the house. And we try to save water, well for the water bill too, but for the environment. And we try to turn off lights and stuff.”

Elizabeth Cronin – “I’ve been using a reusable water bottle every day!”

Mark Brady – “I try to be conscious of recycling using renewable materials. And, I try to be conscious of driving around and using gas and stuff.”
