I know I am much greener than most people. But I don't feel I will ever be extreme green. It just is not possible at this point for some things and other things I just can't give up. My list of things that at this point will never turn green:
Soda - I was doing so good for awhile but I am now back to one a day, shame on me.
Gas - I really wouldn't mind giving up driving for the most part if I could live near pretty much everything I need.
Girl Products - I have heard of the re-usable maxi pads from the same companies that make re-usable diapers but I don't think I will ever have it in me to wash that stuff.
TV - or video games, computers, etc. Really they are not that bad, but use up unnecessary electricity.
Packaged Foods - My consumption of them has declined but I will not be one to live off only fresh foods and bulk grain.
Magazines - I know they can be read on the computer and save trees, but I love having one to hold and they are easier to keep in the bathroom in paper format.
Paper in General - I am anally organized and keep paper copies of most items although I have them on computer, say my calendar. I have about 4 different calendars that I am constantly updating. Although I do get electronic versions of most bills.
If you had to pick one thing you could not give up to be green, what would it be?
It would def be the girl products ... That's just gross !
