Not Christmas green, not Kermit green, not money green (though we know that lots of that green is now invisible to the naked eye), not green with envy (though the ones who didn't have the aforementioned money are not so envy green these days, I think), not puce or Irish or emerald or hunter or olive. No, this green is environmental green.
You all know we are pretty Green here in Germany and I myself am a pretty Green person. Recycle. Ride the bus. Take the train. Ride the bike. Proud to do it. But now it's getting personal! Now the feet are to the fire and the rubber hits the road and if you got 'em smoke 'em and oh my.
Now there is the "green" sticker you have to have for your car. Starting January 1. Aren't they pretty? So, 4 - green - means you can drive anywhere and everywhere. The yellow and the red are increasingly restrictive. Then there's the "you don't even qualify for a sticker that limits where you can drive!!!"Guess what category we're in?
This is tough. Getting a new car is a bit of a stretch. But if we need to take Mutti to the doctor, we can no longer do it in our car since we can't go into the city center with our car. Green has its price. Episodes to follow.
