Common pitfalls of the newly minted environmentalist

Kiki76

It's easy to get “preachy” to those who have not made the conversion to living green. Make sure you share your knowledge without becoming agenda focused.

Many people also take on too much too quickly. People making the change to an eco-conscious lifestyle may also feel overwhelmed by all the possible choices for going green. Take it one thing at a time, start small.
