I wrote this a few days ago. It goes to the tune of Madonna’s song Material Girl. I think I might need to do a music video with it. :)
Not a Throw-Away Girl
Some stores discount, some stores ship stuff
I think they’re okay
If they don’t give me reusable options
I just walk away
They can bag and they can stock
But they can’t see the light, that’s right ‘
Cause the stores without the plastic
Are always in the right, ’cause we are
Living in a disposable world
And I am not a throw away girl
You know that we are living in a disposable world
And I am not a throw away girl
Some use paper, some have bulk
And that’s all right with me
If they can’t use my glass containers
I have to let them be
Some stores try and some stores lie but
Much to my dismay, they sway!
Only stores who save their planet
Make my every day, ’cause they are
Living in a disposable world
And I am not a throw away girl
You know that we are living in a disposable world
And I am not a throw away girl
Stores may come and stores may go
And that’s all right you see
The economy will crash someday
And everyone will see, that we are
Victims of a disposable world
And I am not a throw away girl
You know that we are living in a disposable world
And I am not a throw away girl
Yes, go ahead and say it. “You have way too much time on your hands.” My response? No, I don’t have any more time than anyone else, I just choose to do different things with it than you do. Instead of watching tv, I play with photos. There’s nothing disposable about that. :)
Nothing new to report on the challenge. Another restaurant that accommodated me for the challenge. Thank you Johnny’s Icehouse!
About the NO DISPOSABLE STUFF Challenge
I came to a plastic fork in the road. Yes, it’s time to make a decision, or a new challenge. Do not buy anything disposable for one month. (February 27, 2013 – March 26, 2013) Details about the challenge can be found here.
