The manager at the Caribou Coffee across the street from where I work had a bright idea for a promotion during the month of April: buy a Caribou Coffee mug, and they'll plant a tree.
Well, of course, once I saw the sign, I had to sign up! So I've bought my mug, and I have the satisfaction of knowing that a tree will be planted in my honor, at a ranch owned by the manager's parents in Wisconsin.
This was this particular manager's idea (and really, isn't it a great one for April, which has both Earth Day and Arbor Day?) but they're trying to get the company to pick up the idea companywide. I just fired off an email to Caribou's corporate office to compliment the manager and to urge them to take the idea and run with it.
A tree is being planted! For me! This definitely made my day.
(It's the Caribou at 501 Washington Avenue, Minneapolis, if you'd like to go in, buy a mug and have a tree planted, too.)
