Kudos where they are due...
A couple days back, I posted a reference to the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus, and a plea for help for the arboreal cephalopods...
But, in reality, I am a bit of a treehugger myself. I realized that I was enjoying a little poking of fun at conservationism, but that I hadn't actually done much about it recently. Not able to do anything huge in the immediate term, I figured I could at least do something - I need more work-appropriate clothes anyway, so I went over to the World Wildlife Fund's website, and ordered myself a black polo shirt with the WWF logo on it*. All was good.
I got an e-mail last night: Sorry, we are out of the black polos. We can back order one for you, but that'll be three or four weeks. Or, we can send you *two* white polos right now, at no additional cost!
If that's not good customer service, I dunno what is!
*I find the irony of "killing two birds with one stone" in this context pleasant, don't you?
