Voting green: The choice is obvious - The Diamondback - Opinion

This state has a competitive gubernatorial election between current Gov. Martin O'Malley and former Gov. Bob Ehrlich. At this university, the media and politicians like to talk about tuition. However, I've been engaging students on environmental issues for the last four years, and the majority either have an inclination to support environmental policies or actively promote them. The most concrete example of this is the 2007 SGA election referendum in which 91 percent of student voters approved a self-imposed green fee to offset carbon emissions.

If you care about the health of the Chesapeake Bay, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, creation of clean energy jobs and construction of the Purple Line, the best choice for governor is clearly O'Malley.
