By Jennifer Roach / Special Projects Editor"Going Green" may be the popular catch phrase of '08, but environmentalism is nothing new. People have been fighting to save our planet in peril for decades. In '88, TIME magazine dubbed "The Endangered Earth" the Person, or Planet rather, of the Year. While these five Boston College seniors were mere toddlers when this issue landed in newsstands across the globe, it would eventually evolve into the defining issue of their generation.
Twenty years later, Katherine Walsh, Peggy Fox, Jessica Young, Katie Cava, and Merrill Putnam, all A&S '08, have already done more than most care to do in a lifetime to stop the looming threat of global warming and to protect the environment. Here at BC, their efforts have been seen and felt by everyone from the students living in the residence halls to the upper administrators perched in their offices at the top of campus.
