There are a lot of ways to look at "green". Impact on global/local environment, toxic contents here, workers' conditions... In New England, we're living in a hostile climate. In Holland, enormous greenhouses grow local produce year round - yummy - costing many, many euros in electricity. Here, only some greenouse tomatoes from NH or Canada. Unless one wants to subsidize Sandoz (Schwiez) - the biggest producer of vitamin C in the world - buying fruit shipped in at great expense is a good choice. Given the environmental catastrophe in China, does choosing "Made in USA" make sense for the globe? And so on. Yeah, at some point the opportunity cost of "doing the right thing" is too high. I think approximate trumps perfect 100X. You're doing the best you can, so stress as little as possible and raise a good kid! (from all reports, you are)
