Gone Green

by Jessica

Our old Poland Spring water cooler is being kicked to the curb. He's been around kasina even longer than I have, but now is being replaced with a new, shiny, spry reverse osmosis water filter. As such, I would like to take a few moments to honor said cooler, and to expound upon what we here at kasina will miss in his absence.

• Gone are the days of our indefatigable office manager announcing to our large, open loft space, "The Water Cooler Needs to be changed!" like a celebratory cry inviting us to rise to the challenges of volunteerism and good will.
• Gone are the shows of brute strength and athletic precision that accompanied said changing.
• Gone is the leviathan of crates that filled our kitchen storage space, the monolith of emptied and awaiting five gallon plastic bottles.
• And gone, of course, is the cooler itself, the old guard sentinel that was witness to so many kitchen antics.

So now, all we are left with is more space, more time, more repose, less plastic, and, of course, filtered water.

Stay tuned for my upcoming homage to obsessive double sided printing, my ode to our reusable shopping bags, and my epitaphs for the incandescent light bulb and alkaline battery.
