So, the theme today for TIART is Running Green.
Not to rip off tfh, but I'm going to throw myself as somewhere "in the middle".
I buy new running sneaks every 300 miles or so, but I do try to use my old ones as "every day" shoes.
I have bought running shirts & shorts, but I also use my old t-shirts and shorts (those certainly aren't as nice to run in).
I do refill water bottles from the tap, but I also go and drink new bottles of Gatorade style stuff.
I'm certainly more willing to go walking a long distance to get somewhere, but there really isn't much around to walk to.
So yeah, I'm in the middle. I'm all for doing things that are green, but it just doesn't always happen, for any number of reasons.
I think that running has made my healthier, hopefully cutting down on medical costs & equipment, which should be a green thing. I do things like lots of recycling, using a programmable thermostat, etc.
But really, I think there's probably more things I could do, like buying packets of Gatorade mix & making my own. Trying to bike to more places. The list goes on.
We should all try to be a little greener.

I try to be green as much as i can, but when it costs me more money- thats when I stop. Why do green products have to cost twice as much as regular?

I hadn't even thought of that point of using less medical resources, but it's a good one. Not to mention all those medications end up in the water supply. You didn't rip me off, you one-upped me! :)
