Living greener

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.)
