Recycle at the Rock (sort of..)

So, a requirement for my Contemporary Green Living class is that we volunteer at the "Recycle at the Rock." Recycle at the Rock is a program to encourage recycling of beer bottles and the like during tale gating at home football games. Sadly, my avarice for money lead me to get a job as soon as school started, which requires me to work during each football game. So needless to say, I have not been able to attend  any of these required events. HOWEVER, at my job doing catering in the luxury boxes during home games I put green recycle bags in each of my suites, and I have encouraged ALL of my clients to recycle.

So, I am unable to fulfill my class requirement, but I am still doing my part, right??? 

Water Incased in Boteylerie

So.... I have a bit of a bad habit, in Green terms anyways.

I Love Bottled WATER! It's sick, I know. But I don't think I will ever stop purchasing cases of bottled water and here is why: I AM LAZY.

I have a reusable water bottle, several to be precise. And I make it a priority to wash and use them as often as possible. But sometimes I'm running out the door and my reusable bottle is dirty or not full of cold water and being the self satisfying consumer that I am, I will not go without! 

So, I grab a Dasani or Aquafina (whatever has been on sale) and go on my way. 

My roommate, who is a sustainable development major just shakes his head at me. 

But, I recognize my not so eco-friendly habit, and like anyone with a sick obsession, I'm doing my part to cover up my shame so future generations will never know about it; I recycle!
