I consider myself green. Not like an uber-excessive, tree-hugging fanatic, but rather just an environmentally conscious person.
I ride a Segway.
(I'd also be inclined to use either my Segway or a bicycle to commute, if possible.)
I always try to recycle something if possible.
I plant a bunch of vegetables (like tomatoes, peppers) in my backyard.
(Nothing beats chili with fresh vegetables!)
I'm inclined to use energy efficient products if available.
My television is a 22" LCD.
I generally drive in a fuel efficient manner.
But, like I said before I'm not an overly excessive fanatic.
I still take long showers, as they are usually where I like to just relax and think.
My mother drives an SUV, and my father two pickup trucks.
I leave the AC on a lot, and I usually have it turned pretty low.
(Although I kinda balance it out in the winter by also leaving the heating temperature set low.)
We have a ton of Christmas lights on our house in the winter, usually the most on our street.
(And they're up from Thanksgiving to FRC Kickoff Weekend.)
But when all is said and done, I end up on the green(er) side of the fence. Most of the green, environmentally stuff isn't that hard, and I honestly can't why see many people can't be bothered to do so. The best part is the environmentally friendly stuff that actually saves you money.
Is it really that hard to throw a recyclable item in the recycle bin as opposed to the garbage can? Or why is it that people cannot do simple math, and figure out that even though energy efficient products generally cost more they will more than pay for the extra cost in savings?
