A Call to Action Day #4

Oops, a couple more failures.

Failure #2 billion and one:  After lecturing the kids about making good choices to help the environment, I shut off NINE LIGHTS last night after everyone was in bed. NINE!

Failure # 2 billion and two: Then, this morning, I saw a huge, pristine piece of paper towel, with two tiny damp spots in the middle, lying on top of the trash.

My evil son wiped his damp fingers on a sheet of paper towel. Two inches from his wet digits hung a freshly-cleaned cotton kitchen towel.

Sigh. I guess habits are hard to change. Us humans, we come from apes, after all.

SCORE CARD:

Failure #2 billion: Couldn’t get the soup guy to accept my used container.

Success #2: Re-used my Dunkin Donuts styrofoam cup and survived the server’s horrified expression.

Success #1: We bought three big plastic Gatorade bottles on the way back from the Cape today. We will wash them out and use them as water bottles.
