There are lots of ways to go green. You could start by sailing to work, installing solar panels on your roof, and donating to a wide selection of environmental causes.
Or you could buy a case of Chartreuse and call it a day. Made by monks, drunk by skunks, this is one of the world’s first naturally green beverages. There aren’t any protests involved in consumption. You are only expected to have a short tumbler of the stuff whenever a social gathering hits a predictable standstill.
With so much air wasted on climate change discussions, there’s an alarmingly lackeur of liqueur conversation.
Carthusian monks, the keeps of the bottles, are not known for flying private or obsessing over polluting gadgetry. They keep quiet and focus on the distillation process when know poring over scripture. The average Greenpeace activist expends more energy in an hour than a monk in a lifetime. And they have little to show for it besides a clipboard of fake signatures scribbled by desperate-to-get-away pedestrians. Monasteries are more sustainable than your average hipster coffee shop, subsisting on sizable tips and trust funds.
Many claim the monks are limiting production and reaffirming their devotion to faith. What such commentaries miss is the toll going green takes on people. Probably why they make Yellow bottles as well.
