I took a trip to Las Vegas, NV with my most recent and favorite employer. Las Vegas is a city that most people "need" to go to at least once in their lives, but I never felt this way. Beside the gambling, sex, drugs and rock & roll, Las Vegas represents mostly bad qualities to me such as waste and useless consumption. Since I am very happily married, and I'd never gamble (because I subscribe to probabilities), Las Vegas is somewhere that I would have never gone if my awesome employer wasn't footing the bill.
Remember when you were asked every time you purchased your groceries the simple question, "Paper or Plastic?" A simple question but no so simple decision. Once the environmental issues of plastic became more known, many answered proudly~ "Paper!" As if that clearly was the better choice. It has to be, right, I mean it is afterall paper. Nice, easily recyclable paper. Plastic bags clutter landfills, flap from the tree tops in the breeze, line garbage cans, destroy our aquatic life, and are so much more work to recycle than lovely, paper.
Today I watched the Climate Change Hearings at the House Energy & Commerce subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives about the exciting new climate legislation that is being debated.
