Fred was caught buying tomatoes from a local farm at the Great Hall. He was given a "Bleed Blue. Live Green." t-shirt and an eco-clamshell because he was taking his food to go.Name: Fred OlaleyeYear: FreshmanHometown: Chicago, ILWhat other things do you do in your everyday life to be sustainable?I always recycle, try to take short showers, and turn off the lights whenever I leave a room.What sustainable efforts have you noticed around campus?I've noticed that the EcoOlympics are going on now, which have a lot of different sustainable events.If you could change one thing on campus to make it more sustainable, what would it be?I would add better vegan and vegetarian options so that it would be easier for people to make those sustainable choices instead of eating meat. A lot of people said that they would be vegetarian at the beginning of the year, but gave up after it was too hard.Will you be caught green handed next?
