I absolutely draw the line when it comes to gifts and I refuse to feel guilty about it! When I get a non organic gift (happens as a rule here in Spain, people have very little conciousness about environmental issues) I accept it happily as what it was meant: something the giver picked out for me or my kids to make us happy – and we are grateful, no matter what.

I do feel guilty about traveling a lot by plane. I just love traveling and since we usually just have a few days we hop on a plane to visit new places. I could do better at buying less plastic stuff, but again – it is difficult here in Spain, lots of times I just don´t find an aletrnative. We do have compost in our backyard, which makes our neighbours think we are a little rare…

Just found this article and very glad to do so.

I feel guilty about my husband's career. We have to move every two-three years and I hate to think of the toll it takes on the planet. On the other hand, our kids get incredible experiences overseas and we do try to donate/recycle everything we can during moves. Also learn a ton about recycling, etc., overseas.

Disposable diapers, ditto. We are going to switch soon to cloth, now that we are not traveling so much (due to work), but still feel guilty.

Not being more religious about not buying plastic things/non-organic items or accepting them as gifts. Do I really want to make my Aunt Bertha feel awful for not buying the organic outfit for my kids (that she may not be able to find/afford)?

1. Through a writing, activism and talking, I actively encourage people to get out of the car, and ride, walk or mass transit it. Yet for one reason or another, I drive to work most days. Lots of guilt there.

2. Despite at least one friend of mine giving me lots of hell for using disposable diapers, we still use them. They're not the best thing, but the ease of it all keeps me using them.

3. Back on the meat wagon after avoiding all animal flesh for a while. But I really try to go with only locally-grown and/or organic meats when I do give in to it...which is often these days.

How's that for a long comment!?
