While we were on Cape Cod we heard a report a report on NPR about Green Fatigue, people getting tired of all the efforts to live a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. My wife groaned and rolled her eyes saying that is a really bad meme which will hopefully never get off the ground.

I must admit, I hadn’t heard the phrase before and wondered if the dog days of summer had come early this year, perhaps thanks to Global Warming, and NPR was stretching for stories in July. Back home, I did a quick search and saw that in fact, people have been talking about Green Fatigue for months.

Yeah, there are times when I am hanging the laundry out to dry that I think about how much easier it is just to throw clothes in the electric drier, but overall I still get an important sense of satisfaction in my efforts to live a more environmentally friendly lifestyle.

This evening, my favorite green lifestyle advocacy group, Project Laundry List will be on MarketPlace. For more about Project Laundry check out their recent blog post, Al Gore and Personal Virtue.

As for me, I’ll hang my green fatigues out on the clothes line next to my blue jeans.
