The New York Times tracked down New Yorkers who are trying to go green—eating local, composting, adding solar panels—and found they were struggling. A Windsor Terrace couple hasn’t mastered the art of composting; a Park Slope dance instructor weathers some culinary challenges now that she’s vowed only to eat foods grown 250 miles from the 11215 zip code; and a Harlem couple has had a hard time finding a contractor to give them a green retrofit. Anybody else struggling to get more green out there? And by the way, we want to hear your green tales.
