Just Say No

Orange in a plastic bag
Izz

Hoyt! What are you doing with that plastic bag?

Hoyt

I'm carrying my groceries in it. I just stopped at the supermarket.

Izz

Do you really need that wasteful non-biodegradable plastic bag just to carry one orange?

Hoyt

I'll have you know this is an organic orange. I thought you'd be happy. But the cashier just handed me the bag. What was I supposed to do?

Izz

JUST SAY NO THANKS! Then carry your orange in your hand. That's that wiggly thing at the end of your arm.

Pile of napkins and plastic forks

Later that day...

Dex

Hoyt! What are you doing with that huge pile of napkins? And are those plastic forks under there?

Hoyt

They came in the bag when I got my donut!

Dex

Right, like your donut is so sticky you're gonna need all 50 of those napkins? I bet you didn't even need the paper bag if you ate it right away.

Hoyt

Relax, I'll just throw them out if I don't use them. It's not like I asked for them, they just gave me everything. What was I supposed to do?

Dex

JUST SAY NO THANKS! Then take ONE napkin and hold your donut as you walk out. In your hand. That wiggly thing, remember?

Take Action!

Reduce the amount of stuff you get by just saying no thanks, and spread the word to your friends!
