Ok, honestly, I started a blog today because I had a funny blogable thing happen to me.
I went to DG (for those of you who aren’t down with the Birchwood slang, that is Dollar General) to buy water. Some may say this is a vain thing, but if you saw our only source of water here in TheCall office, you would gladly pay for water. While checking out a lady was gently telling me why I was single handedly killing the Earth with the excessive waste of plastic. While nodding my head waiting for the awkward moment to pass I looked down and saw that she was drinking a Diet Pepsi, in a plastic bottle. So apparently only plastic from bottled water kills the planet.

That is awesome, only someone from the DG would so actively oppose the use of a plastic container to hold water and then be drinking out of one of those same products. The only thing that would make the story better is if she after telling you all of this… she reaches down and takes a drink. Then smiles.

Hah! I DO love that story. At least she was gentle about telling you. People in Seattle you would have kidnapped you, dragged you behind a recycling bin and clubbed you with clubs that say “club sandwiches, not seals…”

It’s true. Seattle-ites hate plastic, paper, non-natural fibers, natural fibers and people who go boating.
Theirs a lot of rage around them parts.

Meghan- Ben is much worth reading. He plays an awesome game of Mario Kart, and stomps around in excitement when he wins.
