I was caught in traffic last week behind a car that appeared to represent the antithesis of all that is zero waste. (And on a side note, just being caught in traffic reminded me about how wasteful the long commute can be, but at least we're working on it now.) The vehicle I was stopped behind was a black Cadillac Escalade SUV with a license plate that read "SO BLNG," held in a faux-diamond plate frame. I was so appalled that I actually took a photo of this vehicle, with the intention of posting it here on this blog.
But something stopped me. I have a zero waste agenda, and there are lot of reasons that I am proud of my zero waste agenda. And of course I wish everybody loved my agenda, too. Isn't that what we all want with our own agendas, after all? But I am in no position to judge anybody else's lifestyle without knowing all the details, no matter how at odds with all I believe the other agenda seems to be. So, it is with loving kindness, rather than with sharp criticism, that I dedicate this post to my fellow so bling commuter.
