    Do you also feel guilty about all the plastic water bottles you use?
    And the aluminum cans? Steel cans? Paper? The electricity to power
    your computer and your flex shaft, that was made with nuclear or
    coal energy? 

    If you're living in the industrialized west, you get to feel guilty
    just for waking up. The way most of us live is doing environmental
    damage. 

    So, feel free to get worked up about gold use, but feel guilty about
    all the rest too. 

    Or, just throw up your hands and say, oh well.
