This may sound petty, but the other day I was shopping for plain old office paper.  Somehow our little town supports both a Staples and an Office Depot.  Both say they’re going green, but only Staples stocks 100% “post consumer waste” recycled paper.  The best Office Depot can muster is 30% “pcw” (in a hip, green-colored package, of course!).

I mean, I’ve been a tree-hugger for decades, and I’m still shocked that even the most obvious green products still aren’t universally available.  That really bugs me!  Who’s in charge here?

Anyway, if you care about the environment like me, I think you’ll enjoy this short video called A Humorous Journey to Environmental Responsibility.  It offers some new perspective on these nagging questions, and even a few laughs (I hope!).  

Cheers,
Mark
