I’m a broke college student, so I don’t have money to do a lot of green things. I would love to have solar panels, all organic, locally grown foods,etc. I do what I can though.

Not having the money or enough stores dedicated to selling green items.
I realize we have to approach everything with baby steps, but I certainly wish MORE people cared enough about the enviroment to give up some of their materialistic stuff and get greener things.

For me it’s boycotting products. Every time I hear about a company doing something detrimental to the environment, or a product that is harmful to the earth I make a mental note to not purchase that anymore. But it’s so hard to keep track! I can’t continue boycotting everything!

The hardest thing for me is to see other people blantly ignor eco friendly ways of doing stuff. Like I see people throwing away recyclable cans/bottles in the trash when there is a recycle container right next to it! Or the people that drive Hummers…man they tick me off! we can all pull together to do a little bit and help, but some people still have the Dennis Leary “A**hole” song ingrained into their thinking and ways of life!

Well, I think I really couldn’t live green. Me and my friends take our dirtbikes out every chance we get, it’s already quite hard to go on for 3 days in a row without riding! Practically all the sons and daughters of my friends are also riding dirtbikes, and competing too, the youngest being 3 years old. So it would be a big part missing from all our lives, families included. Apart from that I live quite green actually, but I think none of us would ever consider giving up the dirtbiking!

I’d have to say the hardest thing for my husband & I are the looks, laughs & remarks of others who aren’t so green.
They aren’t laughing so hard when we have cut our bills in half & had our car paid off in 2 years (new off the lot). Needless to say…They don’t laugh much anymore. We started saving our aluminum cans & turning them into cash a few years ago & we have saved up close to $200 just in can cash. (We go for walks & pick up trash, therefore wind up with a lot of cans.)

I would have to say money, (like a pp) and having to buy disposable diapers. I don’t have a washing machine, and can’t afford a service. It kills me to think how much I am contributing to the dump every week……
I also work in a nursing home, and cringe when I see the dumpster full of disposable products.

The hardest thing is how to handle my commute to work. I cannot live any closer to my job then I already do (~20 miles), so I am spending too much gas driving. The only alternative would be to ride a bike — The roads are too busy for riding a bike ( I hope that changes in the future) — or finding a different job. I am hoping that the work I do at my current job, in terms of its green impact, outweighs the commute.
