Guys. The Grateful Dead played country music. Just saying.

I am not an activist. I just think I should make this as clear as possible. I do things for convenience, or because I like to. I don't try going around and changing other people's minds, because as far as I can tell it's a waste of time. No one listens, I don't have any sort of inspiring message to give, just hey, this is what I do.
That being said, I do try to make things better. Maybe I'm only doing it to make me feel better, but why should that bother me? Charity begins at home, so they say, and there isn't much else here. I'd rather have a happy conscience than a fat wallet, so if that means cutting out plastic stuff by buying slightly more expensive but greener things, that's good isn't it? Like twice as much on a stainless steel water bottle rather than getting a plastic one. Like buying a glass straw so I can stop using plastic ones. But how do I justify these to other people? Seems I simply say "oh, I hate the taste of plastic." Which is true, but how is that inspiring? Maybe : "I want this planet to exist for the rest of my life. Just mine though. I don't have/want any offspring, and no time lord has showed up to take me on a trip to the future or another planet. So as long as I'm stuck here it would be better if it doesn't all go to hell in a handbasket."

Hell yeah. Now THAT is inspiring.
