Re: "Eavesdropping"
Last year, I thought about how I hardly ever went to the Student Union, which certainly must be a center of student life. So I wandered over there a few times to meet and mingle with new people.
One of those times happened to be Earth Day, which, as you might guess, is something of a hippie-fest on campus. In honor of the day there were some celebratory-type events at the Union. I got some orange chicken from the Panda in the food court. I sat down at a table just outside the door of a room where there was an Earth Day comedy show...
"So," the student stand-up comedian started out, "who likes to masturbate?" Shouts of "whoo!", applause, etc. I pretended to ignore the show as he continued with a really explicit and detailed monologue on that theme. After a while he switched over to a marijuana theme. It soon became clear that it was going to be a dirty hippie-palooza all day.
Probably the room had quite a number of young people who all were afraid to express disapproval and so look insufficiently cool/progressive/openminded or what-have-you.

Wouldn't smoking marijuana release carbon into the atmosphere? It doesn't seem like a very eco-friendly habit...
And I'm not even sure how the other topic relates to Earth Day, and I'm not going to bother trying to figure it out.
