Re: How do you deal with non-green friends/relatives?
Sometimes just the model you set when they are are your home helps. Believe it or not, even when they poo-poo you, they take something from it. Hard not to be preachy when you get green. Life is, indeed, full of challenges. What if they were poisoning your kid (or you)? Well, sometimes they are, so that's not such a stretch to mention it. You all with young uns have an advantage because most of us nanas only want the very best for our grandkids. The thought of us ruining the earth, or the space they live in at home, or their bodies is pretty horrific. Gentle "teachings" and reminders about why you do what you do with our grandkids (and our own kid) gets to us where we "love". The resistance may be birthed in some hidden guilt that maybe we didn't do it just right when we raised some of you. Relatives are easier to nudge to green because they'll forgive your eagerness quicker (you think so?????)and they stick around longer. check the rolling eyes. LOL
