Graduation :) Plastic :(

I graduated from my Master's program this weekend! yay! But I had to use a lot of plastic to do so...booo...

Here are some pictures of my gown and hood which are mostly made of plastic and came wrapped in...you guessed it...plastic!



I was a graduation speaker, and I took a lot of pride in avoiding the plastic bottles of water on the stage (no matter how much I wanted a sip!). I also passed on a plastic poncho this morning. It wasn't THAT rainy. But for more on rain and plastic, see an upcoming post!

So...some wins, some losses in graduation. But lots of plastic!
