I am a "Crunchy Con" and didn't know it! I am glad to see Gen-X'ers embracing this idea. I agree completely with his thesis!

Our familiy is there too. Though I'm not sure that I like having a label now. ;^)

I'm a "Crunchy Con" too. We fled the suburbs two years ago for a rural life. I'm no farmer and may have been cursed with a black thumb, but I'm going to try my hand at gardening this spring/summer. I buy from farmers markets whenever I can (a Whole Food store is a 45 minute drive) and we're planting as many trees on our 2 acres as we can afford.

Life in suburbia was too noisy in so many ways. The traffic, the bigger and better jobs, the materialism, the pressure on our kids, etc. Enough was enough!
