Hush Scuppie!

We already know how to re-use and recycle!

First, there were the hippies. Then there were the yippies. Then came the preppies, yuppies, buppies, guppies, and now the "socially concious" generation called the "scuppies."

"Scuppies" are those of us who are upwardly mobile, eco-friendly, and believe that eating organic is a much healthier choice. "Scuppies" are those of us who bring their own canvas bags to the grocery store to eventually stop the production of plastic bags.

For exercise, "scuppies" do pilates and yoga, and when running the nearest nature trail or training for the next "Fight A Disease 10K", they wear their MP3 players and the latest styles in wick-away clothing.

While they love their low-fat sushi, they still believe in Ben and Jerry's. The babies they raise grew on Baby Einstein, and their elementary sons and daughters are home-schooled and taught by Leapfrog.
