Ecology

(Community Matters) I’m embarrassingly far from a tree hugger, yet I’m blown away by all the unnecessary packing and wrapping. Just back from picking up a script from CVS, so we have pills in a bottle, a custom label, a stapled bag, with a really long printed receipt and they tried to throw it in a plastic bag too. I took the old pill bottle thinking they might be able to recycle it, but they don’t. I wonder if I don’t call in a refill, if they’d refill the old bottle to avoid using another – of course then I’d have to sit and wait 10 to 20 mins, so doubtful I’d often have time to do that.
