Q: So I'm a mainstream green. I recycle, I buy bulk, I use earth friendly products (not neccessarily that brand). But I love to take 30 minute showers. So I want to hear from both sides am I hypocrite who has no right callin myself green when I willfully indulge in water overuse. Or is it healthy to indulge you little pleasures, even at the cost of a couple few gallons of water.

A: You are under the FALSE impression that once water is used, it cannot be replaced. There is every bit as much water on the earth today as there was 100 years ago and 100,000 years ago and 100,000,000 years ago. So, stop feeling guilty and get a life.
