This Sunday 12,000 people, including Wesleyan students, held hands and encircled the White House in Washington, D.C. to protest TransCanada’s request for President Obama to allow construction of the Keystone XL Tar Sands pipeline. The pipeline would be used to transport crude oil from Canada to U.S. refineries.
Bon Appétit’s East Coast Fellow Carolina Fojo gave a lecture Thursday entitled “The Story Behind The Food” about Wesleyan’s dining program, as well as the company’s devotion to environmental and social awareness.
