What are the most common excuses for not "doing the green thing"? Convenience? Lack of education/ information? Unclear value? How do you go green conveniently yet still have your eco actions add up?

Most of us recognize that change can be unsettling. It can be scary, and too often it is just easier to slip back into a traditional and comfortable way of doing things. However, implementing effective sustainable change does not have to be a laboring process. Yet, to manifest global sustainability change, it takes each of us doing our part. How can we make it easier?
