True Green Confessions
By Jenn | August 21, 2007
Go ahead, confess your green transgressions… we’ve all got ‘em. Sometimes it’s just kind of hard being green.
These are particularly funny confessions (and by “funny” I mean “so very, very sad”):
I wash my car in the rain.
I hate SUVs. and I drive one.
I bought the trendy stainless steel water bottle and it drives me crazy when it gets all “fingerprinted” so I continue to drink from disposable bottles.
I left my confession for all the world to read… three cheers for the anonymous internets!
Do you have anything to confess?

not infrequently, i’ll take a shower in the morning and a bath in the evening.
and i like it when all the lights are on.
I kick puppies just to watch children cry
you are kidding, right? i hope …
my confession - i still shave my legs in the shower.
Of course I’m kidding - I kick them because I want to be like MIchael Vick when I grow up.
I felt guilty during my shower-shave this morning, thanks to you! I’d never even THOUGHT about how it could be wasteful to shave in the shower!
sorry. and, truth be told, i do a much better job OUT of the shower because i’m not trying to rush. but, yet, i forget and therefore end up in the shower with the razor. maybe i’ll just stop shaving ….
when I get up really early in the morning I have to run my hot water for a long time before my shower! all down the drain!
My Home Theater gear uses 55W…when it’s not doing anything, when no one is watching anything, when no one is in the house, and when we’re asleep. I want to unplug it when we leave, but it loses all the settings (including the low-power config!) when it’s not plugged in.
I’m even more ashamed of how much electricity it consumes when i’m actually using it, full-tilt.
Will I ever be forgiven?
Guamaniac, this is a question that only the Jolly Green Giant can answer…
Brilliant! I need to get a string-bean-and-whole-kernel-sweet-white-corn-cellulosic-ethanol-fueled Generator to power my electronics!
i have been buying green tea from wawa in the mornings… paper cup, plastic lid, etc.
Wa-waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
(that is the sound of the earth sobbing)
I’d love to be a vegetarian, but I really like beef jerky. I’m sorry cows.
I love beef jerky too! and pigs. they’re so smart, but so tasty. I’m sorry pigs!
I love Tofurkey jerky. I’m sorry Tofurkeys!
Ooooh, and the fake bacon … yum! As well as those fake sausage breakfast patties … so damn good you forget all about the “real” stuff.
I still prefer to print out and hand correct a document on paper with a pen than on screen and then redo the typing
I also print off and keep file copies of important work emails
I have about one cup of coffee at work each day, and since we have one of those individual cup of coffee machines - every cup I drink generates a small, non-recyclable plastic cup of coffee grounds. Damn my caffeine dependence!!!
maybe it’s time to return to the fancy teas, gabbi?
I will be flying three different times during the month of September! Yikes.
Just be sure to eat lots of protein and you’ll be fine.

I print out all of the tinychoices posts. I read them while I’m sitting at my desk and throw them away. Sometimes, I throw them out before I even read them.
Seriously, though, I don’t recycle my old call sheets - those go straight in the trash.
Stacey, how else could one possibly read blog posts, if not by printing them out?
I know, and it uses so much ink, but I just toss the cartridge in the trash - who has time to put it in the prepaid envelope and send it back to hp
Also, I find it’s better to use thicker, superwhite paper for the blog posts
