ecotistical
n.— «I thought why not change the “g” to “c” in egotistical, thus creating the word ecotistical. This is how I formally define it: Characteristic of those having inflated the truthfulness about their own environmental accomplishments. Characteristic of having an exaggerated sense of environmental importance. An environmental disregard of others.» —“Sustainability’s Tower of Babel” by David Crawford GreenBiz.com (U.S.) Mar., 2005.
