—My army coat, which I wear because it’s cold out.
—My garden, in the summer.
—Most of my T-shirts
—My Emerald Rose CDs.

While I have stretched the definition of “can’t do without,” I do so only because green is my favorite color. Mmm, green!

Green is vital to life on this planet, whereas red is vital only to beings with circulatory systems like ours. I can’t do without chlorophyll.

Green and yellow Life Savers were my two favorites.

- The giraffe I received for my 22nd birthday. (That’s what happens when you write a song about giraffes, I guess.)
– My modified-ish jacket that suits me for all seasons (which some people compliment, and others silently mock. Or verbally.).
– Several of my shirts.
– Ginger ale cans (the ginger ale would be impossible to transport!).
– Plants. (I like breathing.)
– Irish breakfast tea, which comes in a green bag.
– The post-it note reminding me that my guitar jury is at 9:30 on Friday.
– My little green ESV bible. (The price on that site is ridiculous, by the way.)
– My eyeballs.

Strictly speaking, I could do without any or all of these things (to varying degrees). I just happen to like them. And green. I like green.

Well, I would say money but it’s not really very green anymore, is it? So I guess I’ll say our fluther jelly friend, since he personifies fluther.
I guess actually he jellifies fluther.

I love love love my grass green kitchen-aid mixer!

I also love everything green outside. Anything I buy, I try to buy I’m green—it is my favorite color!

I love my dark green shirts and sweaters. I could definitely do without my World Views class binder, which is green. After my exam tomorrow, it’s gonna burn :Z

Mint chocolate chip ice cream. (Even though we all know the white mint ice cream is better..)
Trees to make air for me to breathe
My favorite blanket
Weed (actually I could live without it, but I do like it..)

augustlan's avatar

My kitchen with its green walls.
All that lovely spring green…ahhhh, I can’t wait for spring!
My peridot jewelry (@Darwin: August birthday?)
The color itself…my favorite.

Darwin's avatar

@augustian – my birth stone is ruby but I like peridot better. :-)

MARIJUANA!

Allie's avatar

I would like to add nyquil to my list of green things I can’t live without.
Thank you.

My eyes are green. I would hate to live without them .

Jack79's avatar

actually I hate green, so I’m generally ok. I never eat anything that is green except the odd cucumber (but I could do without that), I prefer red or yellow peppers and apples to green, and I have a couple of green shirts I like, but could live without them. The only useful green thing in my life right now is my car, which is very dark green, almost black.
