Would you pick Hydrox or Oreos? My mom bought a lot of Hydrox growing up. Her reasoning is they were, "just as good", as Oreos.
They're not.

Blog Action Day!
It's October 15 and I'm here to talk about climate change and how it affects students.
I'm going to being by telling you what I'm not going to tell you. (Meta-introduction.)
I'm not going to argue for or against climate change. I personally believe it's real and people have a good amount of credit for it happening. I don't think it's 100% human caused, but I believe humans are speeding up the process.
I could quote articles at you, but you could probably quote them back. Then I'd start swearing at you because I'm in a bad mood and really don't feel like arguing and this pleasant conversation would devolve into something where I e-mail you a virus that literally melts your hard drive.
However, because doing that would lead to further climate change, (spinning a hard drive enough to melt it uses a lot of electricity, and creates heat,) I'm just going to talk at you.
As a cheap student, there's some stuff you can do that'd greatly benefit you that'd help with the climate change thing. One thing is get a bike. I've mentioned my bike a few times and it's awesome riding a bike to class. It's free exercise and it's free transportation. If you want a bike, you can go all hoity toity like I did and get it from a store, or you could go to Craig's List. I think my next bike will come from Craig's list.
Granted, by the time this post shows up on my site, (I'm writing this September 24,) it'll be a little colder, that should really be more incentive to bike to school. You won't be sweaty when you get there.
Now, there's the other reason I bike to school. It's way cheaper than gas. Like 100% cheaper.
Anyway, if you do your homework, most, "Earth happy", things are actually cheaper to do than not. Some things, (think solar panels), take a while to be worth the investment, but on a long enough time line, they all are.
So enjoy. Hug a tree or something,
Michael
