college visits in NYC. After I had my tour and info session at NYU we walked over to the school store. Like anyone excited to head off to school I wanted a T-shirt from the schools liked. I headed to the register to purchase my bright purple shirt that said, “New York University” on it. The girl behind the counter asked me if I would like a bag I said no,

because I had an almost empty backpack on my back. For this small act she gave me a wooden coin to put in a non-profit bin over by the door. Each coin represented a couple of dollars NYU would donate to the group of my choice. I thought that was awesome that people at this college were awarding their students and the public that save plastic and paper like this! It made me like that school even more.

I chose to put my coin in the Greenpeace bin.
