The Environment: Twitter users seem to totally hate Kansas State University's recently announced EcoKat, the school's recycling awareness hero (who kicks it with fellow EcoEnforcer Willie the Wildcat). Having graduated from KSU's rival the University of Kansas, I am naturally unbiased on the matter. I should probably point, though, that a Jayhawk and its baby walked by me at a KU basketball game once and I was all, "I like that fictional bird and its baby, I should totally recycle, man." Such was their capacity to inspire positive change. [The Huffington Post/LJWorld]
