The "green" choice

Have to add this little ditty before I forget. After leaving the 1st annual Idaho Green Expo a couple of weeks ago, Charlie saw a teenager riding a skateboard without a helmet. He said to me, "Mom, what to you think the green choice is, wearing a helmet or not wearing a helmet?" I thought he may have been a little confused about what "green" meant and was going to explain it to him. Then he said, "Well, wearing a helmet would actually be the greener choice because if you get in a wreck without a helmet on, there would be blood and brains all over the street. It would litter and make a big mess. Mother Earth would not like that."
