Attention environmental activist hippie co-op shopper (you know who you are): Bringing a plastic water bottle to the water station and spending 5 minutes running water to clean out your bottle and filling it with 16 ounces of water and using a whole roll of paper towel to dry the bottle after filling it is NOT environmentally responsible. A special thank you as well for your use of the Keep Tahoe Blue bumper sticker on your SUV and almost running over that old lady on your way into the parking lot and dumping your cigarette butt in the storm drain so it could go directly into the bay. Looking forward to seeing you on Earth Day.

Age, sex and the cause of injury did not significantly alter the findings, said Troy Lisa Holbrook, the study’s lead author.
