1) Enjoying fireworks on the fourth of July. I know in my head that they simulate bombing and that our national anthem is all about war (do you think this might have shaped our national identity as a country constantly at war?) But all that aside, fireworks are really freakin’ cool.
2) Throwing away food. I still have some voice in my head that says that starving children in China could eat that, even through it’s moldy and I can’t tell what it is.
3) Leaving my cat at home alone. I know it’s pathetic.
4) Driving my car 2 blocks to the grocery store, or work, or any other place I could reasonably walk to.
5) Buying fresh produce in the off-season, because I know it comes from Chile or New Zealand or something.
6) Complaining about my job when I know I really need it and so many people don’t have them.
7) Buying and consuming things that are overpackaged, including but not limited to- bottled water, frozen dinners, fast food, and almost anything from a mega-store.
8 ) Not being more involved in politics.
9) Buying my clothing really cheap, because it was probably made by nearly slave labor in some Asian country.
10) Writing blog posts when I’m supposed to be working.
Interesting list… especially that last one.
