How to Save The World : Continued
I like to think that I've been doing number one on my list for a long, long time. and here's number two:
to Whom It May Concern:
I ate at subway today, and had a very good sandwich with my mother. When I finished I got up, picked up my trash, and threw away approximately a half of a tree, or so it seemed like at the moment. When I realized how many recyclable items I had just thrown away, my heart sank. Now, as we know, the world is far from perfect and we can't very well recycle and reuse everything because we're far too concerned with convenience. But sir or madam, do you know how much good Subway could do by replacing the two trashcans in the front of the restaurant with two separate bins for plastic and paper? I'm pretty certain over 80% of Subway's waste is either plastic or paper, you have the paper wrappings for the sandwiches, the plastic bag, the paper cups, the plastic lids and straws, the paper napkins. Plastic gloves. So much waste. Until today, I haven't eaten at Subway in over two years. If Subway made these improvements, I would eat there every chance I got. Do you realize the good you would be doing for the world? How many new marketing campaigns would open up for you? Imagine: SUBWAY GOES GREEN. It's almost an oxymoron, right now.
I almost didn't send this in this fashion, because I'm very afraid it won't even be read. Please prove me wrong. Please let me know that my voice has been heard.

I sent it to them moments ago, and as soon as I find a way to reach the big man in charge, I'll be sending it by mail to him too.
