Welcome to the Green Observer's Spring 2018 Issue! In this issue, we turn our focus inward and cover the Champaign-Urbana community; you will find articles about a partnership between a local farmer and Starbucks, green greek life, eco-friendly chemistry labs, and local alternatives to fast-fashion. Read on to uncover the inconvenient truth about recycling and lighten up with a satire on tireless-environmental optimism. We hope this issue shines light on the change and impact happening in your own backyard; we hope it reminds you of the little things you can do, everyday, to make a difference.
We would like to say a huge thank you to the dedicated members of the Green Observer, the staff of the University YMCA, and most of all, you!
To all our readers, returning and new, we hope this issue of the Green Observer implores you to learn more about your community and find the best way you can make an impact.
Always with love,
Emily and Sarah
