True Green Confessions
Forgive us Kermit, for we have sinned.
Sometimes being responsible for the environmental impacts of our choices is like being on a diet. You splurge one night and have dessert, but then the next day you figure, hey, you've already fallen off the wagon. Might as well have that ice cream for breakfast.
But if a recycling faux pas or a frivolous car trip has you feeling greened out, don't give up! Now you can confess your eco-sins at True Green Confessions, take a deep breath, and move on with your environmentally conscious life.
The site, which is part of the TrueMedia network, also allows users to browse through others' confessions. So what are others confessing to?
"I let the worms in my worm composter die. I just couldn't stand them anymore - the fruit flies, the smell, the messy ick under my kitchen sink.I feel like a mass murderer..."
"I hate that my husband sits there with a stack of junk mail and rips out the plastic windows. We both work full time, have a child, and not a lot of time together. This is not how we should spend it!"
"I use CFLs so I don't have to change the burned out bulbs as much not because they're "better for the environment." I really am that lazy."
You can second a confession by clicking the "me too" button. I'm warning you now, it's a huge time sink.
