Walk Greenly and Carry a Big Purse

It's getting harder to spot the Green guys at the grocery store since now most places don't give out disposable bags and so everyone has to remember to bring in a re-usable one.  Oh well the sacrifices we have to make for the environment.  You can usually spot the Greenies because they are wearing eco-friendly clothing or displaying Green messages on their t-shirts and buttons.  You can sniff out the Eco-blokes but I have a hard time with the patchouli oil, it just smells nasty like a ferret.  Instead consider a essential oil that is less musky.

The most definitive way to spot a Green guy is by his murse or man purse he's carrying.  Some call it their satchel but it's a man bag at best.  I accept the murse hey, it pays to advertise your enviro-pouch and your politics.  And, I  can compliment you on your murse while I'm checking out your other assets. Viva la eco-man bag!  Hey, maybe the reason Green guys use murses like the boys in high school used to use books-  must be all the organic carrots they've been eating!

I too walk Greenly and carry a big purse.  I've been labeled a bag lady, even by the friends who later ask me for one of my famous "purse sandwiches".  People are always asking why my purse is so large, I take the opportunity to tell them it's a great way to never forget your re-usable bag again because essentially you've up-sized your purse to fit tons of groceries and other sundries.  Also it's so I can carry my re-usable coffee cup, cutlery, wash cloth in a bag, and my packed lunch.  The more you can make at home and take with you the more money you save while you are saving the earth from single use plastic and other packaging.  You do have to accept that you look like a homeless person once your bag reaches a certain size but it beats juggling your lunch bag and your purse and a re-usable bag full of things you've bought.  I've also heard style experts say that you should carry big accessories so as to make yourself appear smaller.

If you do get a Green boyfriend, they will invariably run out of room in their murse and ask you to hold stuff in your purse.  It's also a good rule of thumb to carry a bigger purse than your boyfriend.  Plus you don't want them borrowing your purse so make it big and girlie.  The more money you save by packing snacks the more money you'll have to furnish your eco-love nest.  My dream space includes a lovely organised closet with plenty of his and her hooks for our various purses and murses.  I'm a romantic at heart so I also carry around my notebook to write ideas and poetry in, maybe one day I can carry a boys note book in my overly large bag.  Think of your bag as being able to hold all that you have in your heart, your commitment to the environment, your life and your love.  The next time you think you see a homeless lady and a man with a purse just remember it's just your friendly neighbourhood Green couple.  Just give them a wide berth and they won't pamphlet you- unless you make eye contact or litter!
