It starts with the bike rides.... then next year's seniors want to start a recycling program....then the sophomores decide to plant a "prank" vegetable garden utilizing composted food waste from the cafeteria..... you can see how this is a slippery, slippery slope, and we've got to nip this crap in the bud.
