		<description><![CDATA[Talking recently with my friend Michelle, the topic of corporate/consumer responsibility and social justice came up, and before long we turned to Walmart as a case in point. (I know, right?) Michelle&#8217;s question/statement to me went something like this: Many do not necessarily have a need to shop at a place with such low prices [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I teach the first year composition sequence at a community college. These are required writing courses for all transfer students&#8211;the majority of the students who pass through the institution. With very few exceptions, I would say that these two courses are probably the least looked-forward to by students of the entire gen-ed curriculum. Many just [...]]]></description>

Others take an afternoon to consider where things go when you flush them down the toilet, where our drinking water comes from, and how these water systems work together. This past week, our Earth Scouts group looked at water in a different kind of [...]]]></description>

Even so, I can respect cuisine of all varieties (even if I don&#8217;t eat it)&#8211;of the carnivorous persuasion and otherwise. It&#8217;s shocking, however, to consider the variety of disgusting processed byproducts our fast-food nation passes off as food&#8211;especially to our children. Jamie Oliver demonstrates this [...]]]></description>

One topic that kept resurfacing was how many of my students would love to buy more organic foods but the cost is just too high.

I raise questions; that&#8217;s what I do. Truth be told, my personal agenda is clearly a progressive one; although, I am very careful not to stack the deck against students with contrary [...]]]></description>
