I've been asked a lot lately: What am I doing for Earth Day? What are my goals for Green Drinks Pueblo Style? What am I doing to improve the condition of the planet?

My answer is almost always the same, I'm doing my part. If I inspire others to do their part then I must be doing something right. If one more person doesn't throw a soda can out the window because of something I've said or done then I've done some good. I don't want a trophy, accolades or acknowledgments. But I also don't want criticism if I screw something up or have a differing opinion.

Recently on Good Morning America they talked about the stimulus package and green jobs. But the focus on the jobs not on the green. In my opinion it's OK to focus on the jobs, we NEED the jobs right now! Is the green motivation in the right place or does it matter?

Does it matter what your motivation is if by definition and consensus you are doing the right thing?

My mission isn't to save the planet. My mission is to influence others into doing the right thing.
