In thinking about becoming a good Green example, the question begs to be asked,
"Why do you care about being green? What difference does it make to you that makes it worth your while to do something different than the norm?"
I challenge you to define that for yourself today!!! I'll show you my reason if you show me yours!

Be a good influence
I'm an admitted green junkie. But as with other personal beliefs, I have made it my point in life to not force my views upon other people, but instead to just live my life the way I see best & if anyone else notices, so be it.
Lately, I've been overwhelmed by the impact my quiet green life has had. I've started a new job (that is unrelated to my green lifestyle) & am constantly referred to as the green expert for advice around the office. I work for a large corporation & am extactic that this is opening doors for me to turn this huge company in a more green direction. Amazing & humbling. I am thrilled to have people come up to me to tell me what green change they or their family has made or to show me their cloth grocery bag that they carried their lunch to work in. Outside of work the effect has been similar. I am more outspoken in my out-of-work life as it involves volunteer work & religious activities, but still - without fanfair, people are referencing my green ways & asking what they can do, or showing me their little changes.
I have learned that if you focus more on living your beliefs because they are what you believe in (not because you're hoping someone will notice), you will find much more fulfillment in this life & your positive impact on others will be immense. Lead by the example that your passion draws out for others to follow.
