Earthy Day

This week was rather uneventful. I managed to avoid being sick anymore, which was great. I had to sit through a SUPER LONG and detailed meeting at work.
One awesome event did happen though.
Earth day was this week. Which I loved. I think it is a great holiday, and rather entertaining.
I  do think it is really funny that all these environmentally friendly clubs print up flyer's on PAPER, and set up booths in the park square, as we know that paper brochures are not the most sustainable marketing tool. Loud music fills the air and there are even little outside booths from other organizations too. I get that the booths are set up to educate and make the whole earth day thing exciting and what not. However I think that the earth day event itself could use some um well updating on the "sustainable " department. I think all the flyer's and banners that the clubs were using to promote their clubs was rather wasteful, that doesn't mean its wrong but that is just my opinion. Another rather disturbing thing I noticed while standing and talking to a WRC volunteer was how rude people can be. I was literally standing there and having a conversation when a group of 4 girls just started grabbing things on the table and being loud. I could barely hear the quiet meek volunteer with the idiotic girls were behind me like vultures bitching and grabbing free tampons. Like really they are tampons- BIG DEAL! I wanted to so badly yell at them for being such assholes, but I was afraid I would make the volunteer cry. So I just continued my conversation.
The food cart Violetta was at the Earth day event as well. I went there and was not really impressed that much. I felt that their food was good but not really special. Yes they are organic and somewhat fast, I had to wait 20 mins for my lentil burger and fries though which was rather annoying. The fries were definitely worth ever minute, however the lentil burger was not so much. I felt that the consistency was rather squishy and crumbly, as the burger itself fell apart when I took my first bite, so not impressed. I would have rather eaten a garden burger that tasted good and didn't fall apart.
Other than the burger not being to my liking the food was delicious. I really liked the fries, as they were fresh. The cart itself is cute, and the people who served me were pleasant.I think that although I didn't feel that it particularly special it does fill a gap for people who have time and really want organic food. I would recommend that you do have time to wait though, so that you don't feel annoyed or pressed for time like I did.  Here is their link if your interested in them: http://www.violettapdx.com/
