This is an actual e-mail I sent to a place that I dined at. I have deleted the name because it is not my intention to be antagonsitic or hostile.In the interest of self disclosure, I have been this man. If it was too inconvenient, I wasn't going to do it. I have come to believe that the environment is a spiritual issue and I need to be more willing to do what I can to keep my consumption down. I am starting to see my focus on creation as an act of worship for my Creator.
To whom it may concern,
I was wondering if you recycled your plastics. I noticed that we
generated a lot of garbage that could have been recycled.
Sincerely,
Jim
And the reply:
Jim,
Thank you for the email. At this time, we do not recycle our plastic
plates. At one time we did this and paid significantly to do so.
Disappointingly, we discovered that the company that we obtained to handle
the plastic recycling for us was disposing of the material in the landfill.
Thank you for your interest in _____!
Sincerely,
M___ _____

Ookay...so why didn't they find a different place to go through? Or, do it themselves? I don't know...I think it's an excuse. "We used to, but..." So instead of turning them into the better business bureau for false advertisement (I mean, I'm sure they said they would have it recycled and not dumped at the landfill) they just said, "Eh...that sucks. Oh well, we tried." Ugh. Sorry...that just irriates me. Then again...I'm about as hypocritcal as anyone. So I really shouldn't be tossing any stones at anyone.
