You Might Be an Eco Chick If…..

by Starre Vartan · 06/01/09

Penellers
My wonderfully grey kitty, Penelope, who actually allows me to leave the heat off by keeping my lap warm while I blog, so I think she might have a negative carbon footprint!

……..you get embarassed when you absolutely HAVE to buy a bottled water one night after closing down a bar in the East Village. Severely dehydrated, and sloshed, you have so much guilt about buying water that you tell the bodega owner and the guy you’re hanging out with ALL about how bottled water is evil. Double d’oh!

……..your basement is filled with things that you haven’t figured out how to recycle yet. But you WON’T get rid of them until you do!

……..you’re so eagerly awaiting a trip to the farmer’s market, you’ve already picked out which cute cloth bags you’ll be taking with you. And the market’s two days away.

……..you’ve actually wondered about your cat’s carbon footprint.

This is the fifth post in an ongoing series (of my green neuroses!) Others linked below:

Read the Original You Might Be here

After reading through these I realize I think I have a recycling fetish! Is that bad?

    Well, no about the cat but yes to everything except the sloshed part but only b/c I don’t drink anymore but if I still drank it would be a great big YES so I should probably just count it.

    Your basement sounds like my storage area much to my husbands disappointment.

    Man! Now I feel like the only green chickie who sometimes has a few too many cocktails! Maybe one day I will grow up…… waiting in vain for that to have happened already!

    Just the other day I was so dehydrated and had to buy a bottle of water. I was so afraid I was going to run into someone I knew and have to explain…

    Is there one for… You Might Be an Eco Chick if you worry what eco-stranger’s will think of you when they meet your not eco-friendly husband?
