Don't let minor setbacks in your quest to go green get you down. It's impossible to be the poster child for eco-activism 100 percent of the time. Even if you can't always carpool or solar-charge all your gadgets, you can still do simple things to make a difference. Pass on used magazines and books to friends instead of throwing them out. Turn off lights when you're leaving a room. Unplug unused appliances. Eat organic foods. Reuse, reduce and recycle.
