That’s right — interesting little tidbit I’ve just run across. Though it might not be news to you regular Apple fans, in an effort to save paper and be more environmentally friendly, the Apple Store actually offers to email you your receipt instead of automatically and mindlessly printing it out and stuffing it in the bag like many other stores.
I’m not personally on a crusade against paper receipts, but only because it really hadn’t dawned on me exactly how many of my receipts that I actually just crumple up and throw to the bottom of my purse.
As a campaign like this should, the video speaks for itself.
There’s a comment on this video on YouTube that really got me thinking:
“The year 2009 may be the tipping point in human history when society responds to or ignores global warming. The UN climate meeting scheduled for Copenhagen in December may be humanity’s last chance to avoid total chaos. It is too late to avoid some climate chaos. For historical comparison, we might ask: When did someone on Easter Island first wonder if cutting down all the trees to roll stone statues around was really a good idea? A generation before they annihilated themselves?”
It’s a terrifying thought. I, for one, don’t think it’s too late for change. That’s a big part of the reason I’m taking part in this Going Green experiment — to see if I can change and, in turn, change the world around me maybe. I think every little bit counts.
