I am so glad Kim W. referred me to this blog. I was feeling unusually guilty today. I’m about to give a presentation to a local HS PTSA about saving money while being green (I figured connecting living green to $$$’s would make them relate to the topic) and I was feeling, all of a sudden, so guilty about my status of not-so-green life. And then, I got to think, “What do I know about being green and what right do I have to talk to these people?”

Maybe it’s nervousness but I couldn’t help this overwhelming feeling of being, as you so eloquently put it, an “eco-sinner’. I’m so glad I’m not the only one and I hope I can still empower the parents, teachers, and students to live responsibly without sounding like “holier than thou” fake.

Thank you for this post! Its easy to suffer from “eco-guilt” from the holier than thou folks like like to piss all over people who are not living their lives the way THEY think others should. Yes, I use a computer all-day. Guess what? Its how I make a living. I don’t ride a bike. Why? Because I have MS and have no coordination and balance (I don’t want to run into a car or tree!). There are other reasons why I do or don’t do certain things, but I do what I can as often as I can.

Its like some people care more about competition than what bigger picture.

The fact that so many jobs nowadays require a computer, we can not really avoid it; unless a lot of huge companies want to fire a bunch of people and close shop. We are in a vicious circle, however by doing small things here and there, we will manage to have an impact.
