Not a Tosser of the Week, brought to you by dontbeatosser.com

This week I was out in Downtown and around the city, visiting a few parks, I found that there is more than one way to recycle, let me explain.

I made a call for action, I was inviting people downtown to come and join me, while I was and about with the dontbeatosser.com street team, and bring some recyclable items in exchange for t-shirts from Don't Be A Tosser Dot Com, and a few little extra items I happened to have with me at the time, I was surprise by how fast people came from their offices and asked if I still had some prizing for recycling.

I was curious to know what do people do with the money that they get back from The Alberta Bottle Depots and I was surprise by some of the answers I got back.

Toks Bakinson and Dan Tao said that they like to save their money to treat them selves with little snacks or to buy music from iTunes, Angie Hunt is saving up all her money because she wants to buy a car some day.





Then I decided to walk thru a park and look for people that are recycling on their own by using reusable items such as Plastic food containers or Aluminum Water Bottles, people that reduce the use of containers that are hurting our planet, and I met the Seltenhammer Family.


Kids are always paying attention to the things that grownups do, and they copy everything they see from their role models, Julie and Andy, Thank you for taking the initiative and teaching the leaders of tomorrow how to help the environment and putting some extra money on their pockets, or in this case, in their bank account for their future.

We always have to remember that one action has a reaction, thankfully in this case, this is a positive action leading to a positive reaction. The Word is already out, Don't Be A Tosser, show the rest of your family, classmates, neighbors, show Everyone that you are committed to the change.

Could you be the next nominee???
