Dave and I talked a bit about the recycled plastic pots and whatnot that Walmart is carrying now. We sort of arrived at the idea that this is somewhere
that voting with your pocketbook really counts. Next time I need recycled shipping supplies, I’m not going to avoid picking them up at Walmart, but I am going to avoid things like that inflatable plastic beer mug. No matter how hilarious it is. Dave said it was sort of like raising a kiddo. You have to reward the good behavior, right? Or am I totally missing the mark here? Walmart sends me into all sorts of turmoil lately.
