Unintended Consequences

Yoinks....a good thing gone awry. The overwhelming response to this year's first free countywide electronic recycling day created a large traffic jam. Frankly, when I read about the event, I thought, 'wow, nice idea, but that is going to be a mess to stay away from!' (Of course, I kept that insight to myself.)

    This story made me think about the following video which gets the point across in a good way. However, she fails to give us a way to break the stupid cycle on a macro level...she makes noises about it..but the way she gets the message out is fun.
