I feel guilty wondering how much WATER we waste, rinsing out recyclables. -
My guilty green...I use paper plates should I rinse and recycle them to the bin? Also, I do clean recyclables before I put them in the recycle bin, but I don't know if I recycle enough. I know my plastics/papers/metals bin over flows but I never fill even the bottom of the garbage bin.

sometimes plastic bags are good though; you can use them as garbage bags or to separate your wet bathing suit and towel from your dry items in your beach bag....I feel like some people think only use reuseable bags but plastic bags can also be reused; you can even bring them to stores like Target, King Kullen, and Rite Aid which have bins just for them!

My guilty green is when I'm in a bad mood, I won't clean something recyclable and just throw it in the trash. I try not to do it anymore thought.

Forgetting reusable bags, using paper towels, forgetting my reusable coffee mug. I'm sure I take longer showers than I need to and more often than I used to because my wife is allergic to almost everything. I use more heat and air than I'd like because our apartment isn't sealed up very well. There are many things I would like to change, I definitely have serious green guilt!
