I don't know if one or the other came first for me - I just didn't see them as connected until I'd been practising both for many years.

Green and frugal are not causally related in either direction.
Some green actions are frugal, others are not.If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.
Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

I think it depends on which way you started .. did you start to be green or did you start to be frugal .. either way they go hand in hand

Frugal came first and I believe that green is waste not. That being said, I started out trying to keep "the man" out of my pockets. I also think about the trash and fumes that we generate effecting future generations.

I grew up with my parents being frugal. But my mom was/is one that always hates waste. So I also got my green starts then, even though they didn't call it green then.
