I came across this article on Yahoo! called "Signs of a green hypocrite" and it was hilarious. But then I thought, am I a green hypocrite? I yell at people for recycling, but I have an SUV. I use reusable bags but sometimes I don't leave them in my car and use plastic. Does this make me a sinner? Can I ask for forgiveness from mother nature?
The truth is it's hard and expensive to be green, and while I think we could all do better, we are doing better than before. I bought a Brita water pitcher so now I save water and money. Yea I drive a SUV, but I only fill up on gas every two weeks and I take the Metro to work. And yes sometimes I use a plastic bag but I reuse it at home for other stuff. So I guess we are all hypocrites in some way, shape, or form. But isn't it better to be hypocritical than be inactive?

Damn it is hot as hell and we all could drink more water. Why not get yourself a Brita or Pur filter and a reusable bottle (non-BPA!). This will save you tons of money and help save space in the landfill.
