Mon dieu, my guilty eco-sin has to be my addiction to Crystal Geyser.
Gallons of it. Polluting plastic bottles that aren't about to bio-degrade anytime in the next 200 years.
How am to quell my quivering, quavering desire for this alleged alpine spring water? Even Britta + tap doesn't come close to that crystalline taste.
And then there's my love affair with paper towels . . .

I have eco-sinned by drinking out of those cute square Fiji bottles and by driving around in my gas-guzzling crossover SUV. Atate
I am sure Father Al will absolve you if you do some Penance -- take public transportation to your next Sony meeting?
Bless me Father for I have
eco-sinned.
I only recycle my freezer bags
three times...the first for beef,
the second for veal, and after
the unthawed bloody chickin....
I simply succumb and toss.
I will say my three Hail Mary's.
Father Al says he would prefer that you give up the methane-producing meat entirely and switch to lentils.
Amen.
Opps, make that chicken...guess I'll do another Hail Mary....
Don't forget to take the poll.
I love that you're taking the poll!
I have eco-sinned by getting my coffee to go just about every day without using a travel mug. I need to make my addiction eco-friendly!
But I do use public transportation and I try to use a canvas bag instead of paper or plastic when I go shopping.
I can never figure out which is worse --- using a disposable paper cup rather than a travel mug ... but that mug needs to be washed out after every use. And around here, water is in short supply.
my biggest eco-sin is insisting that all of the papers i read be printed out on actual paper...I suppose the computer screen would work as well, but it's just not the same!
I have eco-sinned by not recycling all of the paper I use, and by taking longer- than- necessary showers.
This is a funny way to do one's first confession, seeing as how I am Jewish.
: )
For Jewish folks, I think the Penance would have to be either eating gefilte fish or cooking it for like 3 days in a dorm kitchen.
Water bottles are oh so handy, especially the gorgeously packaged huge ones that seem to make the water all so much better. I'm still getting over the transition, but try and splurge on a nice "Klean Kanteen." Some are silver, some have ladybugs and clowns all over. Maybe not clowns, but they have lots of different styles and brands. Also, knowing that you're not getting the remains of the disintegrating plastic in your bod makes you the change very rewarding. Getting a filter that you also believe and support makes the thought of drinking non-bottled water better!
I am trying to picture the Klean Kanteen bottle with the ladybugs on it. At least they're not SPIDERS.
My eco-sin is REALLY bad! Even though I'm no longer operating a taxi full time, one of my former customers still call me for transportation. Each week when she goes shopping for organic food, I keep my car running to provide light for doing counted cross stitch while waiting. At least I'm listening to the local NPR radio station where I get all the latest information about "Living Green."
