It all started with this. There, I discovered that despite my good intentions and my claims about not having a car, eating BIO and little meat etc, I live as if I had 3,4 planets at my disposal.
Since then, my addiction to internet-based confessions, aid groups and group therapies for ungreen guilty minds hasn’t stop growing, making difficult my daily life and the performance of my duties at work and at home.
This is why I decided to make this outing and share with you all the websites and online activites that persecute my conscience, but also those that are giving me some relief.
I will start from the neighbourhood. I was looking for some relief, but they made me feel worse: I didn’t even manage to understand the rules of the game, so -of course – I lost all the matches. I was a bit released by discovering that the game was old, one year or so. ”I shouldn’t care”, I thought, “it’s not for Copenhagen”. Immediately I discovered that the neighbours had come up with something else, new and richer, to persecute me: you can Play 4 Climate (they’re cool, the neighbours!), posting videos around to convince your friends to act for climate. My score? Zero. I thought I was already bothering enough my friends with my Facebook activities for the European Parliament, so I avoided to play 4 climate.
After the neighbours, it was the turn of the tests. If my behaviour was bad, at least my knowledge could rescue me! I started with my addictions to these. I continued with the National Geographic. The verdict was always similar: “You could be greener”, “You may want to play again” or “Sorry Charlie. You might be time to look a little closer the next time you hit the market”.
Only at the end of the tunnel I found a bit of light. An old friend who is a singer made me smile with his last tube.
And I discovered that, yes, I’m very bad, but fortunately I’m in good company.And now it’s better, little by little I’m getting out. I found that there are many people like me, in every corner of the globe. Our community is called Hopenaghen and we share messages of hope and relief, it helps a lot. Recently, I found a great, funny, green guru, that showed me the way.
Now I’m even taking active part to convince others to go green. And it’s only the beginning of my conversion. You might have big green surprises soon…
