Which, if not consumed, could make green people smile way more than not taking a flight that was going to fly anyway. As I see it, students staying on campus during break will use a huge amount of electricity, hence increasing the carbon emissions of the college. It would probably be more than flying back home. Even if it is not, commercial flights are going to fly regardless of whether kids from a 1000 student college fly home. However, if they are all at home, the college could save a significant amount of power. This should make our 'global warming' doomsday friends happy quod erat demonstrandum If I were to hazard a guess, being a student myself, students having no school work to do for four days would tend to use a disproportionately huge amount of electricity.
