In one of the threads were were talking about how we are a consumer driven nation and use most of the worlds resources . I was wondering what you do to make yourself accountable as a world citizen? Or do you ?

Do you think about the future that we leave our children or live for the moment as was suggested in the other thread ?


My husband and I talked about this and he is getting a bike to travel to work. We already walk if things are in walking distance . We recycle , I cut out the plastic water bottles and have reusuable ones . I use compact bulbs , and we are thinking of getting a non gas mower . Our last place had a huge lawn that made that impossible ...our car is also a small car though I miss my maual ford escort it got 40 miles per gallon but had to leave it behind ...sigh ...

I am sure there are more things to go green with without having to have upper income salary ...

I worry about the world we are leaving behind for our children and future generations.

Eh, we do what we can, but we aren't superheroes. We use vinegar to clean counters and stuff. We recycle. We have a Brita filter that we refill bottles of water with instead of buying cases of bottled water. Etc.

Oh, and we really really really want one of these: Ventura One (http://www.flytheroad.com) to offset the fact that he drives an F150 and I drive a Wrangler.
