Sustainable Science
Jasper Hicks' critique of the "Cult of Sustainability" (Dec. 1) shows that he understands neither sustainability nor climate science. He uses the term "pseudo-religion" five times in an ever-evolving theological metaphor that completely ignores the true rationale behind sustainable practices. He cites Dartmouth's waste-reduction campaigns and sustainability staff as evidence of "zealotry." But to a reasonable observer, these efforts are simply evidence of our commitment to using resources efficiently a commitment The Dartmouth eschewed in using valuable newspaper space to print Hicks' rant.
