Yea, I recycle and ride my bike but there are so many other things that I could be doing. The truth of the matter is, it is intimidating for me as a newbie to get involved when I feel like whatever I'm trying to do towards the cause isn't enough. Why do I drive my car at all? Why am I not only shopping organically? Why am I not buying locally? Where's my garden? I understand the importance of going green or else I wouldn't bother with those minimal things I do try to do but at times I sense the disgust from those "greener" and it is enough to drive me underground; to hide my aspirations to do more. I like easing up a bit and laughing more would help create a more welcoming environment for those of us with the good intentions of becoming more green. Going green is going green and every little bit can help. Not only am I new to the west coast, originally from West Virginia, but I am also new to “going green”.

I guess my peak green madness came when I started crying over bits of my wedding planning I couldn't get perfectly verdant (were the eggs my caterer used organic or only free range? why couldn't I find a recycled fair trade wedding album in the right size and colour? and so embarrassingly on...). Once my green bridezilla moments had passed I promised I would go a little easier on myself in future... Great post Clare!
