Let yourself be heard

I just got done e-mailing a couple of companies, asking them to switch to a recyclable package. I'm about to write to the gas station on the corner, to ask them to put out a bin for cans and bottles, which now go in their garbage. From time to time I do this: e-mail or write to companies asking them to change their policies to be more environmentally friendly -- or praising them for being so. I think it's really important that if you see something you want changed, you let businesses and companies know. They really do care what we think because we're their customers, their clients. Most companies have contact info on their web sites, so it's really easy to send a note to them. So, speak up!
