Eco Elly’s

You may have seen my posts about Sigg waterbottles (this one, or this review). If you haven’t, suffice it to say that I’m quite fond of mine. So it was quite distressing when I realized I had lost my beloved water bottle. Of course it’s clear from the post title that it was recovered and is again in my possession. I’m grateful for the kind soul who turned it in to the campus lost and found. It’s a nice little reminder that being kind to the planet isn’t enough, we need to be kind to each other as well. True compassion extends beyond one single cause. True activism involves daily acts of service along with the anything else you’re involved in.

You can never really predict what impact your small deeds might have. I’m attached to my water bottle (perhaps a little too attached) so I was pretty saddened by the idea that I had lost it, especially considering how long I had waited for it to be delivered in the first place. Getting it back safe and sound made my day. Plus it meant I didn’t need to replace the thing…which would have been frustrating since the reasons for having it in the first place was to have a reusable bottle that wouldn’t need replaced. So while you’re busy saving the world, please, don’t forget to save the people in it too.
