I recently saw this little blurb in The New York Times about testing your environmental principals. It raises some very valid and common points- “Why do people who say they care about the environment sometimes act as though they don’t when it comes to a specific change?” What’s really scary to me is that the masses are aware that changing our excessive consumerism is greatly what our world needs, yet not many people do much about it. This is where we live, why don’t we take care of it the same way we do our homes? The article leaves you with this test: When a sign in a hotel bathroom asks you to reuse your towel for the sake of the environment, how many of you opt to get a new one every day instead? Funny thing is, I recently stayed in a hotel and each morning I hung my towel so I could re-use it the next day. Every time I came back to my room, my towel was gone with a new one in it’s place. I wonder why the sign was there in the first place if the hotel itself didn’t believe in its own mission. What are some simple things you all are doing to make an impact?
