April showers, winter melting. Earth Day pops up this weekend. There is green the color and there is green the movement.
Think about green. Take a walk, look at blooming trees and daffodil stalks. Look around your house and see how green you live. Do you have good recycling habits? Do you eat green eggs and ham?
Green is money and envy, the grass on the other side of the fence. Airsickness. Riding your bike to work, driving a Prius. Lettuce and unripened tomatoes.
Think green but don’t think too hard. Just write. Green. Greening.
I like this topic. It makes me lighter just thinking about it. I actually got to ride in a Prius a few weekends ago in Duluth. A friend had just bought one. There was no key or ignition switch. You pushed a button to start it. The dashboard was moved way forward like a space ship.
When I was moving out of my apartment last December, I had advertised a huge, heavy, oak writing desk on Craig’s List. The ponytail laden man who came to pick up the desk drove a Prius. Liz and I helped him lug the desk down 2 flights of stairs and loaded that giant into the back of his Prius. We couldn’t believe it fit.
Ever since then, Liz has wanted one. She’s always been big on green consumption. I hope our next car is a hybrid!
