One of my students gave a presentation in class. She tried to answer the question, “What is really ‘environmentally-friendly’?” She made a good point. Sometimes we do things because we think they are good for the environment, but are they really environmentally-friendly? For example, when she was a child, she collected the caps of plastic bottles and took them to school. However, the caps come from plastic bottles. It would be more environmentally-friendly not to buy drinks in plastic bottles. It’s better to bring drinks from home in a thermos or tumbler. (by Douglas Jarrell)
