Well, he's listed a whole bunch of questions and basically said "someone else answer all this for me, or I don't know what is 'green' ". My view is, if you actually care what is and isn't "green", go do some work and find out. If you could care less about being "green", then say so. Don't make like you do care, but it's up to other people to go do a bunch of work for you.
As for me, my basic attitude is that on an individual level I'll do things that I have concluded are better for the environment, but they have to pencil out financially. Sure, it would be interesting to have PV panels on the roof, but I've done the numbers and the prices aren't there yet, not for my climate. But stuff like recycling or CFLs involve no or minimal additional financial cost, so I'll do them. BTW I did look up how much mercury is in a CFL and how much airborne mercury is avoided by the reduced lifetime energy consumption of that CFL. It isn't hard to find out.

You have done the research? Let's see the data.
Some of us have. Read the UN Study on global warming. It has been posted here. RWEBB and I had a very informative discussion regarding this. Don't cop out by asking a question like that. It is tantamount to a 5 year old saying "prove it". Not only that proving ones opinion is not a requirement. IMHO
