I have to say that once I read your posts it reminded me that people I think are cool (not weird) are doing this stuff too.<br /><br />And sfw4514, you think you are being sneaky, but I know who you are! ;)Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13711055149111463847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14784462.post-77583366455080493612009-07-31T08:11:29.840-08:002009-07-31T08:11:29.840-08:00I think you're far from alone, or "weird&...I think you're far from alone, or "weird" in doing some of the frugal/mindful things you do. We all fall at different places on the lifestyles choices continuum at different points in our lives--and in different areas of our life--and where you are is, probably, always evolving. <br /><br />And, even if your choices put you on the far end of the continuum--who cares? It's the standouts who are at the forefront of new ways of doing things and thinking about things that pull others into more widespread social change. The most interesting people to know are the eccentric ones. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14784462.post-61226372892949858322009-07-28T17:30:05.809-08:002009-07-28T17:30:05.809-08:00Being non-conformist doesn't make you eccentri...Being non-conformist doesn't make you eccentric. I think many of us are trying in our own way to lessen our footprint on Mother Earth. I use public transportation as much as possible. I compost for my flower garden (no veggies - the squirrels are too rampant). We recycle somewhat. And cloth napkins! You don't have to go the nuts and berries route, just try to think of ways to be kind. As to frugal - hey, spend or don't spend. So long as when you really want to do something you don't fall into the "later" pit. Do it! Life is short! And life was meant for living (it's hard to know what else to do with it).

We garden, compost, buy eggs from a lady I work with, joined a CSA, switched to cloth napkins 2 years ago, take canvas bags shopping, buy organic milk, but not meat because it's so expensive.<br /><br />We are pretty much middle of the road. We have friends on D's side of the family that are way "crunchier", but we are more "granola" than most of our local friends.<br /><br />HennaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14784462.post-43229158966907250392009-07-28T12:04:29.764-08:002009-07-28T12:04:29.764-08:00bravo bravo! loved this post, seriously.
