Going...green?

In an effort to be more "greeen" and get people to quit drinking so much bottled water, my company installed water purifying machines, and sent a long e-mail about how they are "working to help the environment" and striving to be "eco friendly."

Impressed, I went to check it out. For added humor, right next to the new water cooler was styrofoam cups to use with it. Yep, that's right, one step forward, two steps back, that's corporate America for ya.

I googled styrofoam because I was writing an e-mail to Kitchen Services. (Yes, that's how I roll.) And I discovered that Styrofoam isn't just a word, it's a patented brand, so you can thank Dow Chemical for all the Styrofoam in the world. Thanks Dow, I needed that laugh today.
