You're already making changes with your wee garden, Cathy. It's not so easy--but possible-- to remedy the leaky old house--there are lots of technical problems to solve Our downfall is the driving, too, Laura. We're too far to walk or bike to most things/places. In this country consumers dumped tea (and a whole lot else)in Boston Harbor, Larramie!

You’re already making changes with your wee garden, Cathy. It’s not so easy–but possible– to remedy the leaky old house–there are lots of technical problems to solve

Our downfall is the driving, too, Laura. We’re too far to walk or bike to most things/places.

And I consider myself better than average on many things. Ug. Our downfall is the distance we drive to most things. I like to think I make up for those in other areas, but perhaps that's just to appease my guilty conscience. I did this not too long ago and I think I had similar results.

We are also 2.6. It was such an eye-opener. We live in the city and what really surprised me was that our worst offense was food. Until now we haven't grown a thing and this summer I am attempting only a few things in pots. We also live in a hundred year old house...very leaky. Well, we can work on the house... Anyway, thanks—good inspiration! Thanks to both you and Larramie for this, Debra! We are also 2.6. It was such an eye-opener.

The Industrial Revolution or sooner? And now I’m wondering exactly when consumer consequences began to affect our world? The Industrial Revolution or sooner?

TEOM--thanks for stopping by. Let me know how you fare. Travis--it's interesting to see what our impact is. The very old house and the car were my nemeses.
