Guilty pleasures

[ailbhe]

My worst one has to be baths.

Second to that is buying food, usually bagels, from mainstream supermarkets, especially Tesco, which I've finally caved in and done this month. Not a whole grocery shop, but bits and pieces.

And first-hand toys, especially ones with plastic in, especially if they don't offset the evil by being from Oxfam or UNICEF or similar.

I'm not really ashamed of any of it, but I do recognise it as being in direct opposition to my ideals, and I try to minimise it. Except the baths. I've had a bath (varying depths, but more than a shower) most days this past fortnight.

What do you do that you know you oughtn't?

I was about to feel guilty about the big bath we've just had installed, but then I remembered it'll be well water. And geothermally heated, so that cost won't be as bad as many either.

OTOH, I'll be making up for that by not being able to use public transport.

*nod* We've just made the same trade off. We've had to buy a car, as there is no public transit out here, but since we can now buy almost all our food from extremely local sources (most of it <50 miles), our food miles have dropped dramatically. So hopefully it evens out.

Installing goethermal is something we're going to look into soon - it's either that or wood-fired heating.
