I got to wondering about the word 'green'. It's being used everywhere. And it seems everybody wants to be green.
We have a green party, we have green energy, green everything.
OK so I looked it up in the dictionary and among other things here are the definitions I found most applicable.
- ENVIOUS —used especially in the phrase green with envy
- marked by a pale, sickly, or nauseated appearance
- not ripened or matured
- deficient in training, knowledge, or experience
- deficient in sophistication and savoir faire : NAIVE
- 'green and credulous'
- not fully qualified for or experienced in a particular function
Hmm. They were telling us all along and now we get it.

Some of these things I still miss
I grew up without safe spaces.
I grew up without trigger warnings.
I drank water from the hose.
I ate peanuts in class.
None of us wore a helmet.
Kids got hurt. We fell down. And we signed a lot of casts.
We couldn’t pause TV. We’d call out “It’s on!” as soon as the commercials started to end (for those who had left the room). And we watched our favourite shows as a family.
There was no next day delivery.
There was no bundle this with that.
There was no internet. Skip the Dishes didn’t exist.
Fast food was not the norm. It was easier to eat healthy. There were home phones. There was VH.........
