As environmentalists, we all have that one thing that really drives us crazy about society. Maybe it’s only a handful of things, maybe it’s as long as the Paris Accords, either way here are my top 5.

  1. That roommate that always forgets to turn off the lights.

No matter how many times you tell Sandra to turn off the damn lights, she never turns off the damn lights.

Check yourself.

2. The kid sitting next to you drinking brand name water.

Does he know that 40% of bottled water is tap water? Need I say more? Bottled water is bullshit.

3. When your friends offer to drive somewhere that would be more efficient to walk to.

That look you get when you say, “Guys, lets just walk.”

Don’t be like my friends and check out what your ecological footprint is.

4. When you look down and see a family of cigarette buds on the ground.

Environmentalists have a longstanding fight with the tobacco industry, let alone littering. Does anyone think about the squirrels? Because they matter too.

The truth of it all.

5. Your friend that swears they are environmentally conscious, right after their 30 minute shower.

We all know only 5 minutes of that shower is spent actually washing your body. We also know that for every 8 minutes showering, 20 gallons of water is used. An environmentalist nightmare!

Make good choices people! Such as seeing how to better conserve your favorite friend, Agua.

All images are fair use.
