Getting it

An impromptu long weekend pit-stop for pizza had me thinking about greenwashing in a big way. The store proudly announced on their take-out box that it was mostly made from re-cycled paper and bragged about how many trees they were saving by making this choice. Sadly, the same store offered zero options for recycling the pop cans or plastic water bottles that they sold along with their "greenly-boxed" pizzas. Any drink containers would have to go straight into their single garbage bin - or, as in our case, be toted home for appropriate disposal. Irritating, to say the least - and raises the question - do busnesses really "get it"?
