Earlier this month Pope Benedict XVI declared pollution a sin. I laughed and clapped, but it got me thinking about eco-sins I commit fully knowing that what I am doing is bad yet refusing to give up.
What eco-sins do you commit?
I’ll go first. I refuse to give up my long hot showers. I take one every morning without guilt. I also loathe public transportation. I take it on days when I have to, not because I want to.

Forgive me, Arcadia, for I have two sins:
1- I use a LOT of paper kitchen towel.
2- I have a 4×4
Two hail marys and a drink from the holy fountain for me, then…….

Hi Arcadia,
My main eco sins are:
1- Whilst every day I have a short shower, on a Sunday night I treat myself to a soak in the bath and dont recycle the water!
2- Instead of cycling I catch the bus, but honestly I will start cycling again.
I will probably think of more soon

Hi Arcadia
Thank you for sharing your sins, mine are:
1 – I don’t use eco cleaning products as much as I should. I just don’t find them as good so alternate them with conventional ones
2 – I have a dishwahser (disclaimer: its only a small one though and I don’t use it every day)
Phew, that’s better!

Hi Arcadia, and everyone,
It looks like we’re all game to clean our tarnished eco-souls this spring. We (Together.com) just launched a fun little Green Confessional, that gives you a change both to confess *and* to get a little eco-penance.
Come visit Fr. Dan Power, tell him your eco-sins and get tips from him on how to clean up your act. UK residents have the chance to win a green prize, like a solar backpack, a Wattson, or a Brompton bike. So come confess to our green guru… Give him a little tickle while you’re there too – your sins make him frown but the tickle makes him giggle!

Hope you like it!

I found your blog after posting my eco-sins on my blog at redeyechicago.com/practicallygreen. Green minds think alike!
