Today I received my weekly update on the course I am taking at the DNC in August. This was my favorite part:
"Both Republicans and Democrats are trying to hold the most environmentally friendly conventions to date. In both Denver and Minneapolis, some of the new changes include recycled-fiber carpet around the stages and booths made from sustainably harvested wood, energy efficient lighting, banners printed with soy-based inks, biodegradable plates, water made from petroleum-free containers and composted food. There is even an option to ride bicycles from hotels to the convention hall to minimize carbon footprints. According to press reports, the DNCC is taking an extra step that might disrupt some delegates' eating habits. Indeed, the Democrats have issued guidelines for food catering that include a ban of fried food. Instead, the guidelines say every meal should be nutritious and include "at least three of the following colors: red, green, yellow, purple/blue and white." So far, Republicans have not taken a similar stance on fried foods and students participating in the Republican Convention seminar will be enjoy all the fried food and meat on the stick that they want at the Minnesota State Fair, which will be happening throughout the first week of our program."
One more reason I am not a Republican!
