Things You Can Do for Sustainability Day
By Labina Tasfia, Staff Writer
Sustainability can be defined as the balance between environment, equity and economy. In the context of the 21st century, it means providing for the present generation without compromising the ability of the future generations to survive and meet their needs. Sustainability Day was created to remind the community of the importance of caring for the environment and the steps to do so. This day is celebrated every year on the last Wednesday of October. So, with the current state the world is in right now, I wanted to make a list of some things we could do to make our lives more sustainable and take a small step towards saving our environment. Because, as Robert Swan had said, “The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone will save it.”
Frighteningly Disappointing: The 13th Floor Haunted House Review
According to USA Today, the 13th Floor Haunted House in Denver is one of the 5 best haunted houses in the country. However, nowadays, the 13th Floor seems to be blown out of proportion by its reputation and hampered by it. Even on a Monday night, groups spend only a fifth of the time inside the attraction as they do waiting in line, and parking costs just as much as an extra ticket as the streets were lined with parked cars for three blocks in every direction. That being said, should you go to this event, be sure to arrive on time or even early to your scheduled ticket time to save yourself the one to two hours spent in line. Also, be sure to have $20 cash for parking and a good deal of patience to work through the crowds, traffic, and remarkably condescending and aggressive lot attendants.
