Read this first: I committed a crime last Tuesday, which just happened to be Earth Day, a day that invites people to think about their eco-sins. I turned on the shower, intending to get in right away even though the water takes a while to warm up. But then I decided to brush my teeth, and suddenly the water had been running for over two minutes. By the time I got in, I was drowning (ahogándome) in eco-guilt! I had wasted water! Should you feel eco-guilty too? Take the test.
