This is my choice. I am not being "Green" and I have no wish to push my lifestyle on my neighbors. I really don't think a lot about what my neighbors do, I am rather busy.
It is my personal opinion that people who spend a lot of time worrying about what other people do with their time and money need to get a hobby. As always, I suggest needlepoint.
>I choose to live in a small, tightly built house because there is less to clean, less to maintain and it costs less to keep us comfortable.
Same here. It’s my GF who is the anti-environment nut here LOL. I learned since I was 18 living alone that the more you own stuff, the more hassle it is to haul it when you move...and the more to clean.
Like in my previous post, I conserve because it saves me money and clean up because it’s right thing to do....NOT because “mother Gaia” commanded me to.
