Hippy.

I don't know what kind of person you are....maybe you go to Webster, maybe you don't? Maybe you like old re-runs of "Saved by the Bell"...I know I do. But what I am hoping for...is just a little compassion. Dig this, I am not a hippy. I have kicked the footbag in a quad like atmosphere while listening to the Grateful Dead...and possibly "in the clouds"...but I am not a hippy. I do not wear Birkenstocks nor do I wear patchouli...but I do like to wear the idea of recycling.

On that note, man..does it ever pi$$ me of when I see plastic bottles and aluminum cans in the trash-cans around campus. Webster does a lot to promote recycling...their are receptacles all over campus. Next time you are in a classroom...look in the trash can and witness yourself.

CALL-TO-ACTION: If you see a bottle or can in the trashcan..take it out and put it where it belongs..in a recycling bin. That's its home. Some might scoff at the idea of picking an item out of a trashcan...GET OVER YOURSELF....it really is not that gnarly. At least encourage others to put the plastic/paper/aluminum where it properly goes.

I have included a drawing to show all readers how I feel when I see recyclable materials in a "normal" trashcan.

P.S. On this drawing I have included a Lil' cut-out that promotes recycling. Print the drawing, cut along the dotted lines and tape above classroom trashcans to help get those cans/papers and bottles to their rightful receptacle.

Be Good. Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy Tofurky (I swear I am not a hippy).
