 Green is everywhere. Even for the most eager and committed of us, it’s hard to keep up with the information, research, controversy, and opinions that are coming at us like water from a fire hose.

Last night, at the peak of exhaustion from caring for two sick kids, a long day’s work and a spontaneous dinner party, my husband asked, “What happens if we just don’t do green?”

(WHAT?!?! Not do green? Who are you? Are you on drugs? Don’t you care about our children? Are you the devil?)

Somewhat like suggesting that saving money is a bad idea, “not doing green” is not an option in this day and age. It doesn’t mean that I am immediately trading in my car, for example, but it does mean I won’t buy a new car that isn’t a hybrid. I can’t guarantee I’ll reduce the length of my showers, but I am exploring how to convert to solar. And that’s only in my personal time…
