What is YOUR green faux pas?
Right now we are just getting started so I'm sure that there are some out there that I'm not even aware of. However my one very concious faux pas is books. I know that I should get a kindle, or other, but I can't give up my books. I'm not sure when this psycological block will go away.
I guess the other thing is compost. I want to but it just seems like a lot of work and I'm not sure if I'll ever get around to gardening.

Re: What is YOUR green faux pas?
If you dont want to spend the money on a Kindle, you could always look for books on Amazon and buy ones that were previously read. Or check out yard sales or your local library. Our church has a bazaar every year, which is really just a big indoor yardsale and they have a huge huge selection of books for super cheap. My all the women in my family are constantly exchanging books we have read with each other. I havent bought a new/unread book in years.
My major green faux pas is my shampoo and conditioner. I dont live near any green type stores that I know of to be able to buy these products.
Diva Cup. Part of me wants to, part of me is scared. If I could buy it in a store without ordering it though, I probably would have by now.
Best sound ever: baby's heartbeat! (Heard @ 10w1d)
My Whole Foods sells them
Drugstore.com has a wide selection and free shipping all the time.
Mine is also my SUV.
Yeah, I'm there with you. Plus, I'm on a really tight budget, and spend about $1 a month on pantiliners (or less actually) so every time I contemplate this scary $30 item... I pass.
That, and
I'd love to be able to afford a second, more EF car or even better an EF car that fits my dogs, but I can't. I drive very very little though, 100 miles a week.
Eh, I assume Kindles require all sorts of mining and transporting of rare stuff like cell phones, right? Then there's the electricity to keep them running. I don't feel bad about purchasing used books (which is what I but 90% of the time). But I read for a living, so I rarely buy books for myself. I don't want to come home from 8 straight hours of reading (10 if you count the newspapers on the train) and read some more. I guess if I purchased 1 a week I might start to feel bad about it.
I buy nice TP. And I buy way too much stuff that has to be shipped to me. I've started feeling pretty terrible about the effects of air travel (our car travel is minimal), so we're really trying to cut down on the distances we fly for vacations. I feel like I have to fly cross-country every Christmas though; I hate that.
