Ned's local Starbucks proudly announced they were giving away cups of coffee on Earth Day to everyone who brought in their own cup. Ned was there for a bit, and at times the line snaked back nearly to the door. It moved rapidly, however, because the free offer was only good for coffee or tea and not for any of the frou-frou drinks that our younger friends and members of the female persuasion seem to favor. Most everyone had their own cup.
Ned was back today for his first visit since Earth Day and his friends will be gratified to learn that the American Dream has been re-ratified: almost no-one brought in their own cup and the frou-frou drinks flowed like water.
So much for sensitizing our fellow countrypersons to the needs of the global environment.
