I think generally, we all need to find ways in which we step as lightly as possible. For many people, owning a fuel efficient car instead of a big roomy car or a flashy muscle car is a sacrifice. They put fuel efficiency at a high priority, and that's a good thing. It's a step.
Other people consider things like, "I'm going to buy products made locally" so as to cut down on the transportation costs on the environment, while other people who may even be vegan or drive a hybrid - hey, they've never even thought of that.
Other people might dismiss organically grown food as too expensive but otherwise do a great job recycling & composting as much as they can.
And someone else might ride their bike to go eat at McDonalds and shop at Wal-Mart.
One of the things that I appreciate about your LJ is that while you try to do little harm to the environment, but you also point things out where others can tweak their habits to do better. I know I've learned much from you in this regard, and I appreciate these motivational reminders to keep trying and keep doing better.
Step lightly. Be kind. It all works out very well.
