If sustainable living means living a lifestyle my grandparents did 100 years ago ...sorry not for me. I also find it ironic that burning wood was essential to their sustainable lifestyle. Wood burning stoves not only belch green house gas, they also spew soot and carcinogens. Modern natural gas appliances are more efficient and pollute less.
Somebody has written about the difference a century of progress makes. A millionaire plutocrat in 1916 lived a less healthy, sanitary, and generally shorter life than a member of the entitlement community does today. Even the first class cabins on the Titanic lacked indoor plumbing.
Nowadays in my opinion it’s still possible to live simply & economically - in a city - without making a grandiose lifestyle statement of personal superiority.
