I do most things only because I get some enjoyment out of it or it makes sense to me.
1) I commute by bike because I like to
2) I have rain barrels because it easier than hauling out the hose
3) I have a small garden because my kids get a kick out of watching stuff grow
4) I've got a worm farm in my basement because............... well I have a worm farm in my basement.
Does it make me green? Only in my wallet.
I probably do more to "save the planet" than most even though I'm smart enough to know that in no way could I ever destroy the planet.
I vote conservative, republican. Al Gore and most Democrats are morons in my opinion.
