So that's the advice that I got from Jason. And oh my God, it's so painful to listen back to me explaining my idea. If it takes you five minutes to explain a newsletter concept, it probably needs some work just as a general rule. But let me just take a step back. The idea for Greener hit me two years ago on a day in June when the sky in New York was red.

And this wasn't the first time I had felt anxiety around climate change. I doom scroll on climate news and click on any headline about how the world is going to end in 150, 30 years. So while it wasn't a new feeling, I had never really done anything about it.

And like I said to Jason, I'm not going to pull up a seat alongside Greta Thunberg on a sailboat in order to get to my friend's wedding in California. To be honest, whether it's my love of my carbon indulgences or just laziness and a dependency on convenience, that extreme way of living is just not going to be something that I do. But I know I have to make some changes because I see it happening.

I see the effects of climate change all the time. I grew up in Maine and Maine winters used to be just the bane of my existence. We used to get so much snow that at our local movie theater, the people that worked there would change the names on the marquee by climbing the snow banks. That's how high it was. You could reach the marquee in the movie theater just by standing on the snow bank.

But now winters are just manageable. January used to be so bitterly cold that it felt wrong to be outside. But now the mildness, it just feels worse. It's kind of like the quiet, too quiet of temperatures. But there are bigger signs, of course. I mean, look to Los Angeles, which we'll be covering more in the coming weeks.

But beyond that, flooding, earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, I know I need to change and I know I need to be greener. But I couldn't find a resource out there that was situated in this middle ground that I wanted to occupy.

Every resource I found was either a really drastic departure from what my life looks like now, a la sailboats and Greta Thunberg, or just eye-rollingly obvious ordinances to turn the lights off and take shorter showers. And I couldn't find anything for where I was at, just non-judgmental advice for someone not wanting to be perfect, but just better.
