QUOTE OF THE WE E K
“
A public university should not be in the business of deciding
which of their students get to host speakers or speak their minds. It is
the government’s responsibility to ensure that our rights are protected,
and if the First Amendment is being trampled on or amended by speech
codes or unfair treatment, then it is absolutely within their purview to
stop that from happening.”
LSA senior Kate Westa, former vice chair of the University’s chapter of Young America’s Foundation and current co-president
of political organization WeListen
Every Friday, one Daily news staffer will give a behind the
scenes look at one of this week’s stories. This week, LSA junior
Emma Stein wrote about Michigan’s ban on flavored e-cigarette
products.
“I think my favorite part of the story was that the sources were able
to be anonymous, and they were able to be fully open with what they
wanted to say. Because vaping is a super important part of the social
scene here… but it’s not talked about. Everyone’s talking about the ban,
but no one’s talking about what’s going to happen next. So I think that
starting an open dialogue about it was really important, and I liked
being a part of that.”
Emma Stein: “Whitmer’s ban of flavored vape products could lead
to jail time, cause students to turn to cigarettes”

Earthfest welcomes environmentally
conscious organizations, nonprofits
Event provides platform for students to interact with groups fighting climate change
The Diag was packed
with
students
walking
from
table
to
table
participating in Earthfest
Thursday afternoon. The
event was hosted by Planet
Blue, an institution at the
University
of
Michigan
that leads, organizes and
manages the University’s
Sustainability Initiative.
Earthfest
is
centered
around the four themes
of
the
University’s
Campus
Sustainability
Goals:
climate
action,
waste prevention, healthy
environments
and
community
awareness.
Earthfest hosts academic
departments,
student
organizations
and
community
non-profit
groups
focused
on
sustainability, promoting
their
work
on
campus
and in the Ann Arbor
community.
The
brightly
colored,
sustainability-themed
stands on the Diag included
clubs and organizations
that
educate
students
on
food
sustainability,
promote
environmental
sustainability
and
organize
athletic
adventures
and
trips
around Michigan.
Earthfest
incentivized
students to talk to orgs
by
offering
free
food
depending on the number
of stamps they received at
different tables.
In the midst of the
growing
impact
of
climate change on the
planet, Earthfest seemed
more
pertinent
than
ever on campus to some
participating
students.
LSA senior Vanessa Dinh
noted how as a prominent
university, the University
should
be
increasing
awareness of the climate
crisis in light of a lack
of change coming from
political officials.
“As a big university,
we
should
be
leading
the
change
to
more
environmental
issues
because of a lot of the
leadership in politics …
they aren’t really thinking
about that,” Dinh said. “It’s
up to us and up to students
and young leaders to take
up that charge.”
LSA senior Caroline
Baloga,
who
is
in
the Program in the
Environment,
echoed
Dinh’s
sentiments
but was hopeful that
students seemed to be
engaging
more
with
environmental issues.
“I
think
the
University of Michigan
as a Big Ten school is
kind of falling behind
on sustainability, and
I think that students
are recognizing that,”
Baloga said. “So, it’s
really cool that there
are all sorts of different
organizations
that
are kind of focusing
in
on
an
issue
of
sustainability.”
Students said they
were
interested
in
educating
themselves
and finding ways to
make a difference in
reducing their carbon
footprint.
LSA
senior
Kenzie
Dalton was tabling for
Camp Michigania and said
she was impressed not
only with the turnout for
the event, but also with
the commitment students
were exhibiting.
“I think it shows our
faith in science, and that
we trust the scientists,
and that we are ready
to move forward and do
some policy changes to
protect the earth,” Dalton
said. “And the popularity
of Earthfest shows that
it’s important to a lot of
students.”
Several
Earthfest
participants,
including
LSA
senior
Isabel
Nakisher,
said
they
planned on joining the
Washtenaw
County
Climate Strike tomorrow.
The
strike
will
take
place Friday morning on
Ingalls
Mall.
Students,
faculty
and
community
members are invited to
walk out at 11 a.m. from
their classes and jobs. The
strike will culminate with
a rally at noon, followed
by
workshops
and
performances throughout
the afternoon.
“I recently went abroad
to Ecuador and learned
about a lot of these things
that activists are pushing
for and that our strike is
pushing
for
tomorrow,”
Nakisher said. “So, I think
doing it right now is a great
opportunity for people to
see and learn about things
that they might not realize
that’s happening in their
everyday lives.”
