Recycle...the four letter word.

I'd like to send a big shout out and a thank you to my special friends in the movie theatre over the weekend. I'd like to thank you for bringing your young impressionable tweens to a movie and making sure you allow them to become the most obnoxious careless citizens in a few short years when you are not always available for guidance and counsel. Thank you for guiding them away from throwing trash into the trash can, and recycling their 3D glasses. I appreciate you telling your daughter after she ASKED YOU if she should take her trash with her....to just leave it there. I enjoyed watching the nacho cheese hit the theatre seats and drip down to the floor.

It was also very nice of you to tell your children that they could just keep their 3D glasses....in front of the HUGE SIGN that said RECYCLE YOUR 3D GLASSES HERE!!!!! I'm sure the inner city kids who are missing out on seeing a really cool 3D movie appreciate your blatant consumeristic selfish hording. Or possibly the man or woman who injured themselves; that silly plastic you chose not to recycle wasn't going to make them a cast or brace. It wasn't going to turn into packaging to send needed food and supplies for humanitarian aid. I mean really...there's no reason to recycle? I also know that your trashcan which those glasses will soon be residing in...appreciates the business. I'm pretty sure with the social awareness you displayed today that you do not recycle at home.

I want to take this one more opportunity to thank you for the continued effort it will now take me, my husband and the rest of my environmentally conscience family to clean up after you and your slobtastic children. What I most enjoyed about this entire interaction was the fact that your daughter asked if she should do the right thing and you told her not to bother.

Thanks for that...go pour some oil on wildlife!
