Frugality is an environmental statement that’s far more powerful than empty words or bumper stickers. Ultimately, environmentalism stems from acts of doing less: less consumption, less commuting, less carbon emissions, less wastefulness, less carelessness. Frugality finds the same root in the pursuit of less and in the joy and peace that stems from a life of simplified pleasures. The interwoven nature of frugality and environmentalism serves as a testament to their shared values.
This woman is preachin’ to the choir where my ‘lifestyle’ is concerned, but she makes a lot of good points without being overly, ‘crunchy-granola.’
As a, ‘Conserve’-ative, I always enjoy finding new ways to live simpler, consume less, enjoy life more, etc. So far, so good.
Enjoy. :)
B*llsh*t article.....
There is a difference between an evironmentalist and a conservationist......
What the author self-describes as is a Conservationalist......yet obviously doesn’t know the difference.....
The Sierra Club was originally a conservation group but was taken over by radical environmentalists.... just like most conservation groups......
I stop reading the moment I see the word “carbon.”
There are polutants. But carbon isn’t one of them.
The atmosphere is already dangerously low in carbon. Ask any plant.
Well, have fun, but it's a bit like a flea trying to "steward" the planet because the forces of nature are many, many times that of pitiful ole mankind.
That's not being frugal, although for many owners the emotional pride and virtue signaling is well worth the higher cost.
