Being green is not black and white.
It’s not about carbon footprints or treading lightly. It’s not about changing light bulbs or changing lifestyles. It’s not about MPGs or ULEVs. It’s not about global warming or sound-bite science.
The politics of environmentalism have overshadowed its purpose.
Far too often I’m not asked to be green, I’m asked to take sides. Be all in or all out. I’m asked to be in alignment with a doctrine, a way of thinking. Black and white. I’m asked to buy something. Light bulbs or lights out.
To me, being green is about foundational beliefs and core values. It’s about who I am and what I believe. Am I intrusive or indigenous? Am I here by coincidence or by design? Why am I here and why does it matter? Is this it or is there something more?
Being green is an answer. So what’s the question?
