A tongue-in-cheek column from this week’s TIME suggests that too much green can hurt you.

As Lisa Takeuchi Cullen, explains:

So it was with some relief that I learned that eco-anxiety is a
diagnosable condition. A so-called eco-therapist in Santa Fe, N.M.,
reportedly sees up to 80 patients a month who complain of panic
attacks, loss of appetite, irritability and what she describes as some
sort of a twitchy sensation in their cells. Eco-anxiety is not new–the
etymology website WordSpy found it mentioned in a 1990 Washington Post
article–but it’s only now becoming widespread. Environmental
consciousness is no longer just another lifestyle choice, like open
marriages or joining the circus; it has been upgraded to a moral
imperative. That forces Americans to add environmentalism to their
already endless checklist of things to fret about. Did I remember to
turn out the kitchen light? Couldn’t I memorize the directions to my
job interview instead of print them out? Why, for the love of Pete, did
I use a napkin to wipe my mouth when I have here a perfectly good
sleeve?

Cullen is willing to make some changes, but she exhibits more sense about the greening of our world than most fanatics.
