You Know You're Going Green When...

A much younger Jackjack admiring the year's garlic crop.


I choose green, healthy, sustainable living most of the time. But that's not always the case with the rest of my family! What are some telltale signs that your greenie-ness is rubbing off on others? I'll get us started--add yours in the comments.

You know you're going green when...
  • Your 5-year-old reprimands you for leaving the water on while brushing your teeth.
  • You ask your husband if you can rip out the front lawn to plant vegetables and he says, "Sure! Then I won't have to mow anything."
  • People stop you in the hall at work to share eco-living tips.
  • While you're swooning over rain barrels at the garden store, your husband is mentally reverse-engineering them to build his own.
  • Your son tells your mother, "Gramma, your bread is wrong. It's white instead of brown."
How about you? Share your funny or serious green story in the comments.

  2. I love that last one! You'll know you've made progress (and pigs fly) when it's your husband saying "Mom, your bread's wrong; it's white instead of brown."

  3. You know you're going green when:
    - You ALWAYS use your recycle bags when grocery shopping, even if it means turning around 1/2 way to the store to go back home to get them (guess that's "robbing Peter to pay Paul" as far as being green goes)
    - You get really pissed when a friend comes over who has a bottled or canned drink and when they're done they throw it away in the garbage can! You bitch at them and then you move it to the right can.
