Green mom or eco-freak? You decide...

Top indicators that you have crossed the line from regular ol' heart-in-the-right-place green mom to eco-freak:

• Taking your kids to a public restroom and failing to control them from tearing off an extra sheet from one of those 'awesome' automatic paper towel dispensers, then finding you have no place to leave the toweling so that another person might use it instead of thinking it is garbage, then sticking it in your purse (while worrying some stranger might come in and think you are stealing) because you can't abide the thought of just wasting it
• Asking your friend if she'll flush up or down while entering a restroom that uses dual-flush toilets
• Bringing home -- not just your own compostable food waste and/or recyclables -- but also that of all your co-workers
• Opting to skip a dinner party because you have far too many leftovers in your fridge that your family really should be eating, and can't stand the idea of all that food going to waste
• Taking pictures of your compost pile, and showing it to others with comments like 'You think your compost looks good? Well take a look at this...'
• Obsessing about recyclables while on vacation
• Bringing a non-fiction book titled Ecological Intelligence on summer vacation and actually preferring it to the juicy fiction selection that was also brought along

Turns out I've crossed the line from green mom to eco-freak. And I think I'm ok with that. How about you? Got any good ones to share?
