Sure, everyone can give green issues lip service as they toss their plastic bottles into recycling bins and laugh at the gas-guzzlers paying $60 to fill up at the pump. But what happens when your green issues take over? Can seeing the world through emerald-colored glasses prove to be too much for one person? But fear not! If you identify with any of the following, it’s never too late to seek balance in your eco-commitment.

You know you're a Greenaholic if...

10. You had a teenaged crush on the Jolly Green Giant.

9. You change your outfit three times before an appearance of Al Gore on Dateline.

8. You try to run any car off the road that gets more than 35 miles per gallon.

7. You spend most of the party going through the trash, cutting the plastic six-pack holders.

6. When someone asks you “paper or plastic” you reply “What is this, 1990? Hello, it’s called a re-usable hemp carrier!”

5. You leave copies of “An Inconvenient Truth” under the windshield wipers of Hummers. And then you slash their tires.

4. The trunk of your car is filled with your vintage collection of road-side glass and plastic bottles.

3. When your dog drinks from the toilet, you shrug and say “Well, at least I don’t have to flush.”

2. In trying situations, you ask yourself “What would Leonardo DiCaprio do?”

1. The phrase “It’s not easy being green” brings on tears of painful recognition.
