“When people confess their green sins as if I were some eco-nun, I want to tell them they’re carrying the guilt of the oil + gas industry’s crimes. That the weight of our sickly planet is too much for any person to bear. And that that blame paves the road to apathy, which can really seal our doom.”

Personal Responsibility is all part of the Big Oil deflection plan. It made me so furious to discover that BP popularized the "Carbon Footprint" concept. And yet, I can't stop obsessing over my own practices.

Recycling still goes to the same landfill but companies are going the extra mile to make sure it looks important (look at this shiny new Coke bottle it's 100% made of your old bottles, very sustainable /sarc)

I like the eco-nun concept! And I agree that blaming each other or even ourselves for our eco-sins is not helpful.
