I know better about most things, and constantly feel guilty about what I should or could be doing. You’d think I was raised Catholic or something. I was actually thinking today about doing a post about this, but you wrote it far more eloquently than I could have. Kudos!

Each day is a new beginning; a new day to think and be green. Keep your shirts and enjoy them, but go forth and sin no more. Don’t feel guilty about the sins of the past (50 t-shirts).

As for spending green on green, I know exactly how you feel. I've always been...lets just say frugal. So while I know I'm making a better decision on the "green" side of the world, its still hard to pass up that bargain! Sometimes I just have to buy it and try not to think about it - and thats not right, either. Oh well...is the lotto green? Thanks for visiting and commenting! -Jason P.S. I recently bought a showerhead that is around 1.5gpm - and really like it. It doesn't work as well for my daughter b/c the pressure drops too much by the time it gets down to her :-) Can't win them all. Anna -

It is a site where people can confess their green sins or nongreen thoughts. Worth a look. It makes you chuckle because it is the truth. How many of us can not live without our hot showers but get so annoyed at those that don't recycle? (Jason-I get annoyed too.) I do think we should think green when we are spending our green but it is hard to justify when some items are so much more expensive than nongreen items. It is funny that you think that women spend most of the money in their household. (I guess we are not counting big boy toys?.) In my household it is just the opposite. I think there is a little of both. Nice post. Anna www.green-talk.com Jason, take a look at True Green Confessions. It is a site where people can confess their green sins or nongreen thoughts.
