]]> It’s the end of May and time for the unveiling of our Biggest Green Sin poll results! Thanks to all 89 of you who took the poll. It was fun to have so much participation. And have you ever noticed how much an electrical outlet has a surprised look?

From least to most popular green sin:

Recklessly use the printer — 2% of all votes

Don’t buy recycled office paper — 2% of all votes

Never buy organic foods — 3% of all votes

Still use detergents with phosphate — 3% of all votes

Don’t bother getting off junk mail lists — 4% of all votes

Buy a lot of stuff I may not need cause I love to shop — 4% of all votes

Refuse to carpool to work — 6% of all votes

Use Raid on spiders — 8% of all votes

Eat convenience foods with too much packaging — 12% of all votes

Drive an SUV (choice added by reader) — 15% of all votes

And the Biggest Green Sin was . . .

Leave unused appliances/chargers plugged in all day — 36% of all votes (That’s also the one I voted for.)

It’s good to know so many of you are recycling! That choice received very few votes. If you need to work on not leaving unused appliances plugged in all day, try a power strip AND check out Jennifer’s post — One Small Step: Solve One Green Sin (At Least Partially).

As you’ve probably noticed, we’ve been writing about these green sins all month. Here are the posts in case you missed them:

Never Buy Organic Food

Driving an SUV

Reasons to Carpool

Raid on Spiders

Using Dishwasher Detergents with Phosphates

Recklessly Use the Printer

Why Buy Recycled Paper

If we left out something you wanted us to cover, let us know. And please look for the new poll very soon.

Are you surprised by the poll results?

]]> Do you recycle? Have you bought things just because you love to shop?

lizard_in_the_grass.jpgThis month’s enticing poll is called “What’s your biggest green sin?” You may find the poll hiding out in the sidebar.

And you don’t have to pick one of our answers. My, there must be millions of green sins. Feel free to add an answer.

You’ll notice that Jennifer and I will be blogging on the poll choices this month. Maybe that will help you decide!

Either way, please vote by the end of May. And be honest. We don’t know who says what.
