Found this link on yahoo today and got me thinking - well I think a lot but this got me really thinking even more.
The other day I was distributing these fliers for my friend who works for a real estate agent. There were and still are thousands (I think it's thousands) of these fliers. And no where to put them. I was told that what was left should just be dumped in the garbage.
Sure we recycle, but why print so many in the first place???
Well easy answer the more you print the better a deal you get. So instead of printing the 2200 you need to print 3000 because it is "cheaper". Throw away the 800 you did not need and ....
Well guess what....... we all might not notice the price now but in the long run it would have been cheaper to print less (or none at all for that matter)!!! BECAUSE!!! the price we will pay in years to come is obvious!
What is it with people??? I get really aggravated when someone tells me how much they "saved". Saved???? Hey you only save if you don't buy what ever it is in the first place. On everything there is a price.
On cheap wine there is the head ache in the morning.
On the cheap running shoes - the sore feet and they came from some country that probably has not regulations on pollution.
On cheap yogurt - I don't know about you guys but I end up throwing out half of that cheap stuff 'cause it just does not taste that good. Better less for more money and eating it all of up and reminiscing about the great taste!
More later......
