It’s that time of year again. The flowers are starting to bloom and the days are getting warmer. Everyone is staying outside longer. Here in Colorado we especially enjoy the fresh air outside! The oxidized copper on our buildings themselves are testament to how clean our air is, as it is black instead of blue-green like the Statue of Liberty. However, living in this wonderful state can sometimes blind us to the harsh realities of environmental and sustainability issues. So, Her Campus DU would like to take this week to reflect on the dangers of our consumerist culture.
