How many people in your family are green? Any aunts uncles, brothers, sisters, cousins, nephews, nieces, grandparents or are you the first person to go green?

[mommaGof3]

I am not the first in my extended family to go green. My cousin is a uber hippie, she owns a non profit for teaching people how to grow a organic garden. She has always been very earth conscious. She even wears tie-dye lol

She's the only one who is really green besides me.

My great aunt and one of her daughters have always been environmentally conscious folks, but we're the only others in either of our families

 My mom and sister recycle but that is about the extent of it.  We are really the only ones.

Um, my mom composts a little, my sister has a farm she CLAIMS is green but I'm doubtful, my Gramma is veggie but I don't know what else she does that's *green*
I'm pretty much the only one going all out lol.

Just me.

This. Most of my family recycles and they are coming around on some other things, but i am the only really green one. Dh's family is worse... I try...

 Actually I didn't even think about hubby's side of the family.  His mom uses a lot herbal supplements, recycles, and eats a lot of all natural foods.  His sister also recycles, walks or uses public transportation (but they live in Oakland where it is easier), eats all natural and shops a lot at the farmers market, and they home school.  They are better then my family.  The rest of his extended family is just as bad as mine though.

That's great!
I always think about dh's family because i've gotten a lot of negativity for some of my green choices. I remember when chase was about 2 weeks old them asking me if i was sick of breastfeeding yet. And when they found out we were doing cloth, they said it'd only last a week then we'd switch :/. They actualy are coming around some (accepting that my way might not be so bad) but none of them even really recycle...

I didn't even think about my hubs sides of the family. His parents are some what green, they recycle and they have cut back on meat (that's totally for health reasons though, even though it is green) other than that I don't know if anyone else is on his side.
