Personal relations for greenies, part two
By Miyuki McGuffie • December 3, 2009 • 0 comments
When it comes to your personal life, how far should you take your eco-sensibilities when other people are involved? Most of us know or are in the process of working out the limits and boundaries of our green lifestyles. But how often do we think about these in relation to the people around us?

I love public transport. A lot of people complain about it here in Wellington, where our buses almost always run late (occasionally early—even worse!), sometimes don’t appear, and often have less than pleasant drivers.
