I read something the other day about green living and recycling that has me a little concerned. It seems that some people maybe having anxiety attacks because they are not green enough.
I certainly want everyone to be green, but I also want them to be healthy. It’s great if you put the plastic bottle or newspaper in the recycle bin, but it will be ok if it gets in the regular trash instead. It’s wonderful if everybody can compost their kitchen scrapes, but if the banana peel makes it into the garbage it will be all right. If your light bulbs are CFL it won’t be as bad if the light doesn’t get turned off. And remember it’s not worth it turn around when your a block from the grocery store because you for got your canvas bags.
To me a big part of being green is also being serene. If old habits slip into your life every now and then don’t worry to much about it and let go of the anxiety.
