It seems to me that abundance is about believing that resources are available. Not just that resources are available "out there somewhere" but also that they're available amongst what you already have.

So "thinking green" can actually boost abundance thinking. Not only is (eg.) wealth available out there for you to claim, but you can claim some just by turning off electrical appliances when not in use! And there's not a lot more abundant than having a solar panel on your roof that not only supplies your energy needs, but makes you money by selling back into the grid...
