If we don't have freedom, we don't have anything.<br /><br />You are right - wanting to reduce your carbon/environmental footprint is a path that leads to good things.Gregg Koephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349453216733070775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-62100904087051124352012-12-01T19:01:34.565-04:002012-12-01T19:01:34.565-04:00Reading your blog for the past yr. has paid off. ...Reading your blog for the past yr. has paid off. I'm not sure for whom but its paid off. I buy less!<br /><br />Your suggestions in this article are good & if people followed them they would reduce their carbon foot print and save money. I found purchasing things made in Canada or the U.S.A. really reduced my purchasing. There isn't much out there that is manufactured in our countries so my shopping has been substanitally reduced. I have gotten into the habit of counting how many pairs of shoes I have or jeans prior to going shopping. No need to purchase more if you already have more than you can get into the closet. Buying books at the used book store has saved me money & returning them for credits, makes me money. Used book store owner is also happy. <br /><br />Reading the blog has made differances to how I shop, well less shop & it is working. Thanks for the good work & excellent articles.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-89325723565824465742012-11-30T10:55:28.821-04:002012-11-30T10:55:28.821-04:00My husband and I are both simple by nature, but th...My husband and I are both simple by nature, but there is always more to be done. We moved only 1.5 miles from his current job, which is great, but we are currently trying to simplify our lives to the point that we no longer have to take vacations to get away from our life and can live the way we want everyday. We are younger, both still in our thirties, so officially retiring isn't an option and we also have a child, but we figured out that if we can be successfully happy with less, than we can have more time and most of all freedom to do what we want. We believe it's all in the priorities and our number one priority is freedom: from stuff, from debt/credit, from jobs we don't care for, etc. Reducing your carbon footprint is a good way to start to help completely reshape your current lifestyle. <br /><br />MarieG LifeSimplyBalanced.comMarieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16028494875978434339noreply@blogger.com
