Not a "Not Me!" Monday

I will certainly jump back on the "Not Me!" bandwagon soon. I will consciously make an effort to remember all of the ridiculous things that I don't do this week, and I will share them with you next Monday.

Instead...I'd like to share a little anecdote. Now...I can't take credit for this story. This one comes from Mr. C., and seeing as how he doesn't have a blog of his own, I feel like I can share this story on his behalf.

On Saturday Mr. C ventured out into the shopping world to pick up a last minute well planned Valentine's gift for his beautiful wife. This gift was actually purchased from a store that I won't mention the Apple store (well...why not tell you?), and the following conversation took place between Mr. C and the sales guy.

Salesperson: "Sir, would you like to help us save the environment by allowing us to e-mail your receipt for this purchase?"

Mr. C: "Sure. I do all that I can to save the planet. I'm one of the greenest guys you'll meet." (I'm paraphrasing of course.)

Salesperson: "Thank you. Would you like a sack for your purchase?"

Mr. C, dumbfounded and a little taken off guard and honestly thinking the guy might have been joking replied: "Uhh...sure."

The salesperson then precedes to put a single box inside one of the nicest plastic drawstring bags I've ever seen.

Mr. C refrained any further comment, and left the store feeling quite pleased with the fact that he had saved the environment from the useless printing of a 4" x 2" slip of paper that would have surely pushed global warming over the edge.

I have, of course, saved the plastic bag to reuse at a later date.
