About a month ago Guster, one of my favorite bands, came to Luther. The last time I saw Guster they were opening for a more well-known artist. This time around they were the headliners... meaning the tour was built around them.. meaning they got to decide what the tour was about... meaning they brought with them not only excellent music but also the Campus Consciousness Tour.
Guster started the Campus Consciousness Tour on their last tour, and it was such a success that they brought it back. Basically it consists of a bunch of environmentally-concerned groups that set up tents, give out free stuff, and arrange "town hall meetings" at all the tour stops. A lot of the tour has to do with carbon neutrality, organic products, and of course, global warming.
I'm not a scientist or a politician, so I don't claim to know a whole lot about global warming. I do know that there's a lot of research that says it's a problem and a lot of research that says not to worry about it. In my mind, however, the existence of global warming isn't what's important. What's important is the undeniable fact that humankind has messed up and polluted the planet, and we need to start reversing that whether what we're doing is warming up the planet or not. Let's error on the side of making the Earth cleaner.
