Kermit moment

Having a reaction of the green (environmental) kind rather than the reaction a normal person would have in a similar situation.

Also, the realization that in a particular situation, it might not be easy being green (environmental).

I had a Kermit moment when I realized the packaging could not be recycled and it was my only choice at the store.

Also:
I had a Kermit moment when I looked in the garbage can, my first thought was why wasn't that recycled!
