The problem I have with 'green' is the same problem I have with 'red' as in red state.  There's a lot of preachiness going on.  Lots of lectures, guilt, making you feel like the can of tuna you're about to eat is the last one ever...
I think working at the Monterey Bay Aquarium did that to me.  Everything was such a downer.  Otters are going extinct, tunas numbers are dropping, don't eat orange roughy, shark finning is horrible, kitty litter kills marine life, lobsters are smaller than they used to be.  I mean, I know all this stuff and I do my best to spread the word and follow the rules but... sheesh!
I just get so tired of people telling me this and that.  Such a drag.
 
(This isn't a commentary about the thread starter or anything.  Just me thinking out loud.)
