Who is an energy pig?

Posted by David Beard, Boston.com Staff May 23, 2008 05:32 PM

A confession: maybe I drive too much. It's a fuel-efficient Corolla, but you know... maybe someone you know is an energy pig, too. Maybe even you!

Anyway, here are seven sins of energy hogs, presented in a fun, non-judgmental, holiday weekend kind of way. It is inspired by an amusing story about green arguments among lovers in Thursday's Globe by Beth Teitell.

"Curb Your Enthusiasm'' curmudgeon Larry David is even in this look at leadfoots, shower lingerers, etc. At the end, you vote on your toughest-to-kick energy-wasting habit. (I hear Oprah Winfrey says she goes through too many paper towels.)

If you want to do more than vote, have your say with a comment here.
