Why couldn't I stay green?

Long before joining the Real Estate profession, while I was in my 20's, I was very much into "all green" and "environmentally friendly" life choices. It was not quite usual or generally accepted, by the general public, as a life style.

I left my town (Hermosa Beach CA.) and went to Hawaii where I lived for 2 years, enjoying every minute, feeling secure and "home".

Returning to the main land I opened my own clothing business a designing women clothing line made of HEMP. I was way ahead the time... my idea of sustainable eco-friendly clothing for women stirred up a lot of opposition and suspicion. The HEMP fabric had a wrong ring sound attached to it, for some ears, therefore mostly rejected as a sound marketing product.

The clothing line was very sassy, stylishly young and hip... not to motion that was 100% made from natural fabric with all natural accessories. I managed to go through a lot of hardship for 10 years... when finally I gave up and sold my business and my patented clothing line name. (Who by the way is successful and popular now)

I am nostalgic about those times... Why couldn't I stay green? 

Now working in a real world, for housing industries, I feel inspired to keep up with my old commitments and find a way to bring into my work all that can be done to help implementing eco-friendly way of living and life style.

I was watching TV the other night, a woman opened a eco friendly store called Thru the Woods. Sounded like so much fun. I was wishing we had something similar in Southern Colorado. You can go and stay green again, just with a different perspective.

I have a fellow co-worker who stays green, I think it is great.  The enviroment is a drastically undertalked about and undervalued as a whole in my opinion.

Arina, I like this post, but it seems off-topic for the Localism Beta and Localism Brainstorming groups.  Try the Out Of The Box!  and Anything Goes groups.

I agree with you, that sometimes good ideas come too early for the mainstream to catch on too.  Do you think that the Mullet will ever find acceptance the way hemp has?

I think you will see a lot of green!  Congratulations on the new profession and for being a pioneer!

To me it is the best place on earth... But My family lives here and couldn't stay for too long away from them. I was and I still am not married and the only family I have, are my parents and my sister. And they wanted me be closer. I would fly back in a second. Do it!
