Dear Post-it Note,
I am writing you today to make my contribution to your Post-it Note recycling program. While I don't have the dedication required to be considered a true recycler (only every other bottle or can ends up in the recycling bin where I work), I do hang onto batches of used Post-its for some reason. I keep them in the second drawer down to my right in my desk, a big stack of them.
I found out that your company produces 100% recycled Post-it Notes, which I'm impressed by. I think it's good that you take old Post-it Notes and convert them into new Post-it Notes. Is there someone that has to sort them by color once the used ones come back for recycling? How do you get the old ink and pencil markings off? Who has to apply the fresh adhesive strip? I'd be interested to learn more about this process.
As you see, I have some mixed colors that I'm returning. Some of the yellows differ in shade, which makes me think that some of these might be from Staples or another non-recycling manufacturer, but maybe they're close enough in color for you to slip in between your standard yellow Post-its and brand as your own. Very few people would probably notice.
I have Post-its that line the border of my monitor. I keep things written on them like my passwords and phone numbers so that I don't have to remember those things. I have a hard time remembering certain sequences of numbers, but you make life easier for me. I don't own a Rolodex... because I have about a few stacks of Post-its on my desk instead. My boss says it makes my office look tacky, but I think she's just jealous at how much more efficient it makes me.
Thank you for producing such a fine, renewable product!
Stuck on you,
Daniel
