What Shade of Green are YOU?

In my research, I have come across many people with various opinions about the green movement. For fun, I have selected three shades of green to describe their eco-friendly commitment.

1. Neon Green, bright and shiny -Those who are passionate about the environment and have become cheerleaders for environmental causes. They learn all they can about how to reduce their carbon footprint and help others do the same.

2. Natural Green, practical and caring -Those who may not be driven by passion for the environment but know this green movement in not something to be ignored.

3. Muddy Green, not really green, more brown- Those who think this whole green thing is just a fad. They carry on as usual and fight any mandates for change….because they hate change.

If you are Neon Green, thank you. The environment needs you to keep the green movement momentum going strong. You are the first responders to an ailing planet and though you may have been seen as radical at first, your efforts are paying off.

If you are Natural Green, thank you. It is the small steps of many that result in large impacts toward a healthier environment. It is your consistency that sustains the movement and leads, by example, others to join.

If you are Muddy Green, well truth be told, if you are muddy green you are probably not reading this. But to those of you, who know Muddy Green people, be kind and lead by example. When they say climate change or global warming is just not real, remind them to look around, see if we can improve the ways in which we use energy efficiently, conserve water and be mindful of what we put in the trash.

We can all “do better”. Start by adding one green strategy; make a habit, then add another. Step by step we will all make a difference.
