You Are Part of the Problem!
Nationally, an estimated 850 billion condiment packets are discarded annually across all food service brands, with roughly 90% of them ending up as waste.
Some quick math for you, 850 billion x 3 cents or $0.03 = $25.5 billion dollars. 90% of that is 22.95 billion dollars… Wasted. Allow me to repeat that… 22.95 BILLION dollars wasted.
I try to explain to these people that it does not bother me that you waste a little bit here and there. It bothers me how much people don't pay attention to what they waste, and what really bothers me is how many people do it! I said to this one guy, "If you were the only idiot that left the lights on that would be great! But unfortunately there's evidentally millions of idiots that do the same thing – Just in the United States." I do apologize for calling people idiots, I have been trying to refrain from doing so. But I honestly do not have a better word to call these people. Not becauuse they leave lights on, or waste packets of sauce. But because they are not even willing to consider for a moment, that they might just be wrong for doing such a thing.
Being a Foolish, Autistic, INTJ sucks sometimes!

People seem to think that I enjoy aggritating them or something, but that is actually far from the truth. My brain does these calculations, like… ALL OF THE TIME! And there's like sirens going off in my head, saying, "Hey! Something needs to be done here! Yeah you! No one else can hear me!" But unfortunately, even when I do speak up… Getting people to listen is hard. Getting the people that do listen to understand is hard. And finding the time to even attempt to get through one of these people is hard. Hense why I am starting this website! And a YouTube channel, and whatever else I can do to try to get these messages out to as many people as possible.
I'm not a TreeHugger… I'm a Heyoka damnit!
Well, at least I am almost positive that I am one anywho. I can not hear people's thoughts, but I might as be able to. I can feel their aggrivation with me when it starts, when it's just a little bit, and when it's qlot for them to handle. But they do not take any amount of time to even try to figure out why I aggritate them so much. Like I said, if there wasn't something going on in my head, not leaving me alone, insisting that I do something about this… I wouldn't be aggritated, and I wouldn't have to aggritate them. BUT APPARENTLY we are all just going to have to be aggritated for a little while longer. Well… They are. I do not hold onto such emotions for very long. I am getting quite well at reflecting them onto the people that need to feel them instead. But like I said… I actually do care about these people. It is not my intent to aggritate them. It is my intent to get them to see what they refuse to see. And that my friend, is why I say that being a Heyoka is a calling. It is not for the feint of heart.
