the bigger picture

You might not care if what you do on Saturday night makes you sick on Sunday, and your roommates might not care that there are people around until 3 AM, but what about the things that can't speak? What about everything else around you that is affected by what you do?

A 12 pack may not seem like a big deal, but when several are bought every weekend in your apartment complex alone, the numbers add up.

  • Recycling just one aluminum can saves enough energy to operate a TV for 3 hours. (Eco-Cycle)
Think about the bigger picture. And even if your roommates don't care that they can't sleep because the party is too loud, shouldn't you?
