Small change

Here’s a way you can help the envi­ron­ment in a small way... say no to a cup insu­la­tor sleeve the next time you get coffee-to-go.

You will:
– save that much addi­tion to the land­fill
– save the cof­fee shop the cost of the insu­la­tor
– save the trans­port costs for that insu­la­tor sleeve to the shop and to the land­fill
– pre­vent trees from hav­ing to be chopped down

You say, “I don’t want to burn my hands!” Well, take a moment at the shop to let the cof­fee cool. You can’t drink it that hot, any­how! Use the extra time to pray, to enjoy look­ing at the peo­ple in the line or to read the newspaper.

If every­one would do this, thing of the cumu­la­tive dif­fer­ence it would make!

Iron­i­cally, this sleeve says, “Do as lit­tle as pos­si­ble.” I would add, “...to the environment.”
