A secretive correspondent emails:
“Please keep my name off this (seriously), as I don’t want to give a heads-up of my future plans to any distant friends or family members.
“The WSJ today reports: ‘Sev and Nina Williams are swearing off flights and long drives in 2008—which will mean missing Ms. Williams’s sister’s September wedding in Spain.’
“What a great excuse. No longer will I need to fabricate a rationale to avoid pain-in-the-arse events I have no desire to attend. When an RSVP is required, I’m going to reply: ‘Sorry, but I’ve gone green.’”
“‘Sorry, but I’ve gone green.’”

Michal Strahilevitz, a 43-year-old business administration professor in San Francisco, sold her car and cut back on leisure flying to reduce her carbon footprint, but she still flies for work. “Chances are you are just taking a seat, not adding flights to the schedule,” she says. Because of cuts she has made, she says, “I feel nowhere nearly as bad about all the long showers I take.”
Good grief! The things these people think of to make themselves feel guilty.
