Re: Are YOU Answering the Call?

Though I appriciate the dicussion going on, I'd like to reel the thread back into focus - What are you going to do to make your robotics team more enviro-friendly? We shouldn't just be inspiring students in math and science, but EARTH-RESPONSIBLE math and science. Having 5,000,000 engineers doesn't help the world if they are all advocating waste, denying global warming (which is an undeniable fact), and complacent to the OATH ENGINEERS TAKE to make the world better. There's a question on the Engineering Licensing Exam on what the ethical responsibility of engineers is, the answer being to make the world a better place; similar to the Hippocratic Oath "First do no harm." Unfortunately I NEVER hear about this crucial aspect of engineering. Frankly, this is the reason that I find a "Conservative engineer" to be an oxymoron and hypocrisy (But not a Hippocracy).

So I repeat: What are you going to do to make your robotics team more enviro-friendly?
