Personally, I consider myself a light shade of green. I am often invited to be part of green living shows and expos. I am always honored to be invited, although intimidated at the same time. Living in an area where people live off the grid, use solar power and composting toilets, I know what dark green looks like and I am far from it. And honestly, I have no plan to go there.
I bring my stuff to the recycle center, donate unwanted items to Goodwill, limit the amount of chemical fragrances and cleaning products in my home, and purchase products from responsible companies.
I log onto some of the “mommy” sites and it is like a competition. Instead of who is the better mom, it is who is more green.
To me, it is more about personal choice and respect for nature than “being green” There will always be someone “greener”. I am not in competition with anyone but myself.
I just always figured if you have two products; they both do the same thing, they both cost about the same but one is made with natural, biodegradable ingredients and the other with chemicals, why would anyone use the chemical product?
