Stan's Donuts

Kaiya had her first glazed donut from Stan's Donuts today. If you have not enjoyed a hot glazed donut at the counter at Stan's, you should go. It's quite a treat - as Kaiya can now attest to.

Other than the fact that we were patronizing a local business (which does mean something in our book), there was nothing green or sustainable about our adventure this morning. We drove our car the 9.5 miles to Stan's, for this singular purpose of having glazed donuts - no public transit, didn't combine trips with anything else, and the activity was not remotely eco-friendly.

If we are aiming to be as environmentally sustainable as possible, do we cut these activities out of our lives? Or do we allow ourselves a few guilty pleasures (hmmm... glazed donuts) once in a while?
