‘Gigantic waste of time at taxpayers expense,’ scholar responds
New York University welcomed students back to campus for the spring semester with a “Climate Action Mixer” and “plant meditation” last week.
The university’s Office of Sustainability and Libraries hosted the event with “plant-based snacks” and a plant giveaway, according to the event page.
The event also included a 30-minute “plant meditation” where students “engage[d] their senses and practice[d] focused attention using plants, offering gratitude to the natural world.”
The Office of Sustainability encouraged students not only to “reflect and meditate with a succulent at hand” but also to “get to know other students who are also interested in activism and combating climate change.”
