Over the years, we’ve become more and more low-impact but, like others of you have said, we could do such more. We live in a small house (880 sq.ft), only have one car (and it’s 10-years-old, gets good gas mileage), walk when we can. Our local store is a health food store that only carries organic, mostly local, and no meat-1.5 blocks away-lucky, aren’t we?
My partner is the head of an electronics recycling facility-they recycle almost everything. Again, this is lucky because there’s very little we can’t recycle. And we buy almost all of our electronics used, including computers. I eat almost no meat, and only a smidgen of dairy.
We always use reusable mugs, we buy local whenever we can.
Still, when I take the footprint quiz I find it would take 4 planets to sustain this lifestyle-amazing.
Clearly the culture itself will have to change in order for us to scale down further.
I’m so looking forward to learning more from all of you.
