After a few hours, the police had yet to be called and the students were able to speak to dozens of customers, handing out flyers and stickers to adults and children. They were asked to speak to the manager about Staples' misconduct and were extremely responsive. One customer actually left and went to buy her products at another store after Jason Nelson informed her of the products she was buying. In the end, their civil disobedience was worth the effort as people became aware of the issues at hand and went home with an idea of alternatives to these environmentally unfriendly products. So next time you breathe clean air or take a walk in the woods, be thankful for all those eco-protesters.
Somebody has to save the forest.
