As I was pulling into a coffee shop near my house early this week, I noticed a pair of teenage girls getting into their car next to the spot I was pulling into. Initially, there was nothing remarkable about them that would stick in my memory. That changed. The each opened their door and took a shining can of diet coke out of their car and set it in the parking lot. Then they closed their doors and slowly drove away. I picked up the cans and made eye contact and asked them, “Can I please throw these away for you?” They simply pretended to look through me and kept driving.

The best part of the story is that they were driving a Prius. I’m so glad they have real concern for the environment.
