When you live in Portland, you never feel green enough. Even if you carpool/bike to work, recycle, compost, take your own bags to the grocery store, and use cotton diapers on your kid, there is still something you’re not doing. You should feel horrible about it, naturally. And you do because there are reminders everywhere about what else you should be doing.

When I read this on the front page of the NY Times at Starbucks this morning, I just about cried. Suddenly, I get to feel guilty about what I’m wiping my ass with, too. And, as a girl, who drinks a lot of water, works from home quite a bit, and appreciates a nice, fluffy wipe, I have lots to feel guilty over.

So when it came to be my turn in line for my morning decaf, I decided to splurge and buy a pound of coffee for our troops. It’s this promotion Starbucks is doing right now, and thank god they are. I needed a way to balance out my karma after realizing that I should be foregoing the Cotonelle in favor of cardboard.
