Someone who can't manage their economy on Valorant/Counter Strike type games.
Wow, Check out Eco Sam over here!
Well, This guys pulled an Eco Sam in the save round!
the anxiety associated with fear of harming the environment; the fear one experiences when they second-guess their actions for fear of impacting the Earth in a negative manner
When I saw those slobs throw their McDonald's trash out the car window, my eco anxiety started to kick in.
I threw a tiny scrap of paper in the trash; I later went back to retrieve it and placed it in the recycling bin. Call it my eco anxiety!

A play on the phrase "ego-trip" referring to the superiority one feels when going green, being green, or living green.
Militant recycling, composting, farmers markets', CSA shares, organic food, solar panels, bio-diesel, and the purchase of a Prius or Smart Car can all trigger an eco-trip.
He thinks he is saving the environment single-handedly because he bathes in collected rain water instead of taking showers.
I know, he is on such an eco-trip.
In short, “Ecological Credibility”. One gains eco-cred by exhibiting behaviors that suggest a commitment to the environment. Driving a hybrid car gives you eco-cred. Riding a bicycle to work gives you MAJOR eco-cred. Recycling cans, plastic and newspaper gives you very little eco-cred, but recycling your neighbor’s trash by digging through it to find recyclable products gains you lots of eco-cred.
People concerned with their level of eco-cred often feel the urge to measure themselves against others. One-upmanship is the order of the day when environmentally-aware types get together. It is very important to always win these contests. If your buddy bikes to work every day, then tell him that you also bike to work, while charging your laptop using converted pedal-power. Having an iPod powered by solar cells is a nice touch, too.
Riding public transportation is a reasonable effort towards eco-credibility, but if you take the bus because you don’t feel like driving, don’t tell anyone…Make them think you refuse to use a pollution machine that contributes to gridlock, choosing instead to use your time on the bus to invent new uses for Hemp. Hopefully your fellow passengers will never notice that you drive an SUV.
Ronda gained major eco-cred at the GreenPeace rally by showing off her solar-powered iPod.
