But I'm Hot!
I was out and about around town today, and it was hot, 90 degrees hot (that’s like 1000 C for any Canadian readers). I decided to hit the Apple store, where in the window they’re advertising their new special laptop battery that’s eco-friendly because it lasts up to 3 times longer than conventional laptop batteries and so that’s less landfill. Yay Earth! Then it was off to Whole Foods, where they sell shopping bags that say “I used to be a plastic bottle!”, and ask me if I want to donate to some Rwandan kids thing, and then ask if I want to donate the 5 cent credit I get for using my own former-plastic-bottle bag.
Essentially, I live in the land of eco-awareness. The epicenter of the greening of America. And yet, in both places? The air conditioners are working full blast and all the doors are open, spilling that wonderful coolness onto the sidewalk for everyone else.
