Underage, under arrest

By the Editorial Board | Jan. 9, 2008

Homeowners looking to reduce their energy consumption can take advantage of the rebates Gainesville Regional Utilities offers for solar water heaters. Commuters looking for a way to conserve fuel can use the new Web-based Alachua County carpool program. These are just a few of the latest ways Gainesville residents can go green. And it's our guess, judging by the growing number of Toyota Priuses driving around town - along with UF's growing commitment to sustainability - that this trend is one that's here to stay. However, local government may be overlooking one of the most fundamental ways to protect the environment: recycling.

Running Huckabee column irresponsible

By Jim Glover | Jan. 9, 2008

In reference to the Mike Huckabee column published in Tuesday's Alligator, I would like to commend the editorial staff on their incredible and unbiased coverage of the upcoming presidential election. It is understandable that sometimes the editorial staff can become exhausted by their bashing of the Republican Party, and, inevitably, you have to look to the U-Wire to fill the opinions page with left-wing propaganda.
