Jim Henson’s lovable creature Kermit the Frog confessed in song that “It’s Not Easy Being Green.” Although his difficulty with being green was meant in the much more literal sense, now more than ever we hear how critical and easy it is “to be green.” Being green in today’s sense refers to being aware of one’s carbon foot print, participation in recycling programs and other Earth friendly behaviors.

You are probably asking yourself, what does any of this have to do with photography? Well, I was just getting to that. I recently had the pleasure of participating in a photo shoot at a local Dallas vintage store. Although not often thought of as particularly Earth friendly, buying vintage and re-manufactured clothes is an exceptional way to be green. So, there are a plethora of ways to be green and they are easier than most may think. I encourage everyone to do their part to save our most precious resource…Earth!
