I like to consider myself an earth loving "greenie." Yes, I've named us. Because let's face it sometimes we're annoying. My canvas bags sitting in my car, my coffee tumblers, well, always tumbling around.
But I'm going to be honest with you, I'm kind of only half hearted about it. Sometimes I forget about my canvas bags and I don't always bring my tumbler into the 'Bucks.
Also, I'm that mom...yeah the one whose kids don't get candy too often. We don't have chips in house and they don't even really know what soda is.
But, I do every once in awhile bring in the chips. Especially the Garden Salsa variety of Sun Chips. So imagine my delight when Sun Chips announced that they would have 100% compostable bags! Now when I indulge (which honestly isn't too often) I can help the environment at the same time!
So today, I decided I could indulge in some chips and purchased a bag of Garden Salsa Sun Chips.
Now I'm conflicted.
So, so very conflicted.
Don't get me wrong, I love the environment. I even want it to be around for their kids. But I can't stand the CRUNCHING of this environmentally friendly bag.
OMIGOD!!!!
It's the loudest thing ever. It's like an old lady with her lozenge in the middle of the opera. I want to back hand this bag. Badly.
But now I feel so bad. If I buy chips, which are also bad for me, I don't think I can buy the Sun Chips brand (anymore). I mean, because of my sanity, which is hanging by a thread most of time anyways.
So I'll be ingesting more calories (only rarely) in a non-environment friendly bag because I can't stand the CRUNCHING. All this while knowing I could be enjoying slightly healthier chips from a very crunchy yet environment loving bag.
So yeah, Sun Chips. Thanks for the guilt trip on multiple levels!
