@Marye You’re right. In a lot of cases people will say stuff like “green hippie” or something else that sets me apart because I say, recycle or won’t buy plastic baggies, it’s kind of stupid. It’s a tough call, because green sort of is a lifestyle choice (I guess) but it should be the lifestyle norm instead of the lifestyle exception, and separating green all the time in mainstream media makes it the exception.

Like the media points out look how this celebrity recycles! Cool! Like they just managed something amazing. Lame. You do look great for having eight kids though ha.

But what? I look crappy for having 2 kids? Or if I hadn’t had any kids at all I look really ogre-like?

With the green thing, the reason it is that way is because the majority of the peeps want to do it because it is in style, so therefore it must look a certain way….so you fit in and be cool. For those of us that have been green since the late 60s because it is the right thing to do, well, we are just old hippies and have no class.
If you feel like you have to go and buy $10,000 worth of sustainable bamboo furniture to be upscale green then you are not green, you are only tinted chartreuse.
