Is it a fee that is assessed by a municipality at the point of sale? Kind of like a glass bottle recycling charge in some areas? Or is this a fee that goes back to manufacturers so they will recycle it? I want to hear more.

OMG. I used to pack my own lunch would shoved a frozen Lenders Bagel (it would thaw by lunchtime), a pack of cherry pop tarts, and two Kudos bars in there with a ziplock full of grapes or baby carrots. I am amazed my bones haven't crumbled yet.

Also, I appreciate the time that you met with me in Seattle. When I was a baby reporter. It felt like a big deal to me.

Glenn, I wish you luck and I hope people reach out and share how much you have touched their lives. I relied on you early in my career to teach me about WiFi and you taught me a lot about typography, which is something I never really thought about.
