Did almost 2 years without television, but since 2 months ago I have a big one in my bedroom.
I ride my bike, go by foot or take public transit. Don't have a car, but my wife has a company car.... so all my efforts of living car-free are worthless.
I grow my own vegetables in the garden, though.
Want to live more ecologically. But it really isn't working out.
Just happened to discover this thread. I'm learning a lot of you guys, picking up some nice ideas.
To each their own, and it is a step by step process.
I have been cleaning up our old farm, hauling scrapped equipment off to the recyclers, and doing general purging. I will probably never get down to the level of my daughter. Everything she owns fits in the back of her Subaru hatchback.
She currently lives on the edge of the grid in western MA. My son has more stuff, but lives car free in Boston.
