We thought it appropriate to ‘revisit’ the concept of the eco poser.

You know these people. Like me, you may also fit the description in those moments of weakness when convenience trumps sustainability (please step away from that 24-pack of Poland Spring). We must all strive to do ‘bettah.’  Eco posers:

• think the Sierra Club is a Rehab Center and Spa, out west
• wear a “Save the Planet” t-shirt, designed by Bono, under their Mark Jacobs lambskin jacket
• Louis Vuitton reusable bags cost more than most major appliances
• are celebrities who make sure to get photographed riding a bike around Hollywood but fly everywhere in a private jet
• fervently support alternative energy, but don’t want an ugly wind turbine obscuring their view of the neighboring townhouse development
• would love to give up their SUV, but can’t – because they’re short and they like to be “above the traffic”
• monthly energy consumption bronzing at the tanning salon exceeds the annual electric consumption of 3 African nations
• write for an eco blog, but leave their laptop on day and night, hate the light from those CFLs and still haven’t fixed that drip in the shower…
