Luke and I were walking home from playing on the mall when we were socially accosted by a lady with a clipboard. She smiled and said, “Hi there! Would you like to help the environment?” I said, “Oh, I already help the environment.” (I’m sure I do in some way)
She replied, “How?”
Well, I wasn’t expecting that, so it took me a while to find a legitimate answer, “Ah. I, uh… ah, I own stock in a solar company!” “Oh!” was her response. Then some polite laughter.
Which is true. 30 shares of First Solar. Not to mention 80 shares of Quanta Services (Wind power). That response beats the old “I recycle” reply. Only wish that I didn’t pause so long to answer.
