Unlike Michelle Isgut, I am not a Gator Party senator, but I am an environmentalist and, until last year, I was an undergraduate at UF. Her shots at the Orange and Blue Party for its environmental agenda are unfair.
When I look at the people running the Orange and Blue Party, I see many of the same faces that campaigned tirelessly for the sustainability fee that was tied to credit hours. I see the same leaders who first brought up the issue of too few recycling bins. And I see many of the same environmentalists I saw at the sustainability meetings.
Orange and Blue Party leaders may not have a gimmicky environmental point on the platform, but its leaders have - in various groups - produced real results in the past.
Environmentalism is a movement too large and too important to be claimed by only one party.
