We don't have a car cause we want a LIFE and our car expenses were, SUCKING the life out of our meager finances and making us feel TRAPPED. LOL, the other day, I was in a conversation and some lady was "bragging" about how GREEN she was cause see drove a Toyota Prius Hybrid. I told her, hey my hybrid is WAY greener than yours, of course it's a bicycle!
How sad! You seem to think that trying to tread lightly and making an effort to leave the next generation with an environment that supports life (that's what being green means to me) is something to be ashamed of--an accusation you must defend yourself against. If someone called me green, I'd be flattered.
