On the side of science, sustainability, and public health,
Wash U needs to commit to its own professed values. To the board of trustees: cut ties with
the coal industry (Peabody's not the only culprit, might as well go all in), be coherent in your values in support of this great university, this
city, this region, and the country. To Wash U scientists: Peabody and the
industry are waging a war against climate science. Time to speak out. To Wash U
doctors: the coal industry acts against public health. Do you profess to ethics
of 'do no harm'? These students are the future.
Our children and grandchildren and their grandchildren are the
future. Dirty coal and the logic of
being bought and sold in a company town are the past. Wash U needs to stand
with the future.
