A Teaspoon of Perspective

From the treehuggers at Treehugger:



And in case it's a little murky for you to read:

"It's pretty amazing that our society has reached a point where the effort necessary to extract oil from the ground, ship it to a refinery, turn it into plastic, shape it appropriately, truck it to a store, buy it, and bring it home is considered to be less effort than what it takes to just wash the spoon when you're done with it."

Just a little something to think about.

Geeez. I am so guilty. I need to take time to stop and think about what I am doing.... Our office flies through the disposables...

Kevin, considering how much you do to promote sustainability and green practices, you have NO reason to feel guilty. :-)

Keep up the good work at Avid.
