keep walking down the middle of the road and you WILL get run over ... get on the right-side and live by example ... do whats right and stand up against whats wrong ... the time to turn this situation around is v short and our lives are even shorter ... ultimately, everything we do in life has an impact, from cleaning our teeth to getting on a plane ... question everything and change it all if needs be ... its now hip, not hippy ... we gotta start with our own perceptions first

Most people won't go to the extremes like this, but they are blazing a trail for the rest of us. And if they can inspire many people to just do a little then their impact will be huge.

I answered "Right on!" but want to add the caveat that while what these folks do is above and beyond, the impact they are having is nothing compared to the possibility inherent in having every U.S. household switch incandescents for flourescents. The power of the masses taking small simple steps is ultimately far beyond the most committed individual.

The average mainstream person tends to either be too busy with their lives, or too overwhelmed by everything, to even think of going green. That's why those of us who make smaller, quieter efforts are equally as important. If I can encourage the next person to add a little green in their lives with "saves me money" or "it tastes better", then I've done my duty. Even the smallest pebble can make a ripple in the pond. And when I have friends and family begging me for my backyard organic tomatoes, I know I've made an impact.

make time to do more of the small steps you do already, then others will do evenmore too ... dont just wuss out with the small stuff ... try something challenging ... fail ... try again ... get stronger ... show more love for you ultimate mother ... be a more of a mother lover and less of a mother****** ... this aint no teddy bears picnic
