Green Daily

All the end of year hoopla brought up many best and worst lists, and the topic of the environment is no exception. Instead of giving celebrities more attention, La Marguerite, on her blog about green psychology, celebrates The Unknown Environmentalist.

The Unknown Environmentalist is the person who is "leading a quiet revolution..no fanfare...no blog." The Unknown Environmentalist is the person who does the little things during the course of the day, or even very big things, but doesn't need the world to know about it. Things like walking to work, not wasting food, Freecycling, being cautious with water use, using a clothesline, signing petitions, giving what they can to environmental groups that they believe in.

The Unknown Environmentalist "cannot help but live the life of a green citizen. And is motivated by internal rewards from a highly developed green conscience."
