Here is a screencap of a new Twitter account supposedly held by Phil Rozenski, director of environmental strategies at the plastic bag maker Hilex Poly Co.:
I was a bit confused by the ‘retweet’ I got so I went to check out the tweeter. A retweet is usually someone repeating what you said to share it with a wider audience. Phil had zero followers and I never wrote the sentence that he put after RT @plasticless.
If he had cared to read my blog he would have seen that I spent a whole weekend writing a series of posts that closely examined the arguments made by the plastic bag industry.
The accusation that I was being a drama queen was interesting. My quip that there was a 50% chance of finding a plastic bag in my front yard apparently touched a nerve. Again, if he was acquainted with the level of commerce and the wind direction and velocity on my street, he might not think I was being dramatic.
Welcome to Twitter, sir.
