JUST AROUND THE CORNER:
Recently,
my colleagues and I have been going home from work at around 12
midnight to 1 pm. Yes, you just read it right. In fact, call center
agents have better situation than us since after their night shift, they
can sleep in the morning. But for us, we still report in the morning.
Oh well, this post is not about by blood draining work life.
When
I go home, I sometimes pass by at convenience stores to buy water or
milk or anything refreshing. That's the least I could to treat
myself.
Earlier,
I dropped by at a 7-11 store. Then upon paying the goods I got, I saw
the cashier putting what I bought inside a brown paper bag! While the
lady behind me sarcastically said "bawal na din ba plastic sa 7-11", I
was however got amused and felt happy with what I saw!
The
last time I saw a store having this kind packaging was in the bakery
where I usually buy from when I was a child and in US movies and TV
shows where there are settings in groceries or supermarkets. But more
than the fascination of the classic way of packing goods, I felt happy
and hopeful about what we, including businesses, can do for the
environment.
It
may be a little harder for me to carry on the goods with just a paper
bag but I would rather do that sacrifice than lose our only planet; yes,
in the long run, we will if we do not reverse the bad we're doing. (By
the way, WWF is holding a Reverse Run for its Reverse the Bad Student
Program. Click here to know more about it.)
So I guess, this is my 31st treasure find. Kudos to 7-11 for making this change. :)
