The comical thing about "going green" is we're not addressing our overuse of plastic and Styrofoam. How many people recycle the plastic lids to their daily Starbucks or soft drink cups? What about those hefty Styrofoam monstrosities from Jamba Juice? Most of them undoubtedly end up in the nearest refuse bin awaiting a trip to the local landfill. Before you toss your Jamba cup or Styrofoam to-go container you may as well inscribe a message on it; after all, it is essentially a time capsule and will outlive you many times over. Maybe you could write an apology or an excuse to the future inhabitants of this planet (see the suggested message below). I guarantee you I recycle more than the average global warming fan, but when it simply isn't practical to recycle I do the sensible thing and include a heartfelt hello and a silly scribble on my unwanted Styrofoam. Here's a thought: maybe Hallmark ought to print on Styrofoam or some other plastic so the future generations can enjoy the witticisms of the past.
Suggested Styrofoam Message:
Dear future earth inhabitants:
I tried but in the end I died.
Best of luck,
[your name]
p.s. I never liked chocolate much anyway
