So, while at a locally-owned grocery store today, I got into a wonderful #SolarPunkSunday conversation with the young woman at the register.
Me: "Hey, I can scan in the heavy items in my cart if you give me the scanner."
Clerk: "Great! Thanks!"
Scans in items.
Clerk: "You're good at that!"
Me: "Yeah. I used to work at a library. That's all we use these days."
Clerk: "I miss all the old school stuff. Like card catalogues."
Me: "So, have you heard about #SeedLibraries ? Some libraries here in Maine and elsewhere use the old card catalogues as Seed Libraries. There's one in Scarborough."
Clerk: "No way!!! I've been wanting to get my garden going again. That's so cool!"
And that, my friends, is how we CHANGE THE WORLD! One interaction at a time!
