Green, green, green is everywhere. In the paper, the blogs, the social networks, in the venture capitalists’ mouths, on the buses, at Walmart. It seems that everywhere I turn, I hear, see green. That not much has changed, and that we are still headed for disaster if we don’t act, gives me a case of greenitis. Green overload, with no satisfaction.

i ran into someone yesterday while walking the dog, i am like clockwork so at 4 you will find me on the same streets picking up the same poop blah blah blah, i see alot of the same folks on my route but this woman was on her bicycle and behaving very poorly – I walk at 4 because it’s past the after school crowd and before the commuter traffic from the train – less people, less other dogs etc – none the less we are a busy happening little town and the sidewalk still is full of people this woman was riding on the sidewalk, her baskets full, her little neon flag waving, her helmet secured but she was raging – ever hear of road rage? She had sidewalk rage. Basically she wanted a clear shot down the entire block. In order to get it she was shouting at everyone about how much better she was because she was on her bike and how all of us polluters need to get out of her way. I really found her hostility out of place and she scared my dog with her ranting – she actually veered towards her as if to be malicious. I thought at first maybe she was a homeless, sometimes they are not all together but she had imbeccable shoes on and alot of jewelry. Maybe she had a bad day at work. I hope I don’t see her again on my route – being green isn’t about being better — it’s about being.
