I think about other places in the world and how the people live and think how much is not neccasary to live. Like, shutting off all or most electricity,,,unplugging appliances,,,,get smaller fridge,,,,,ride a bike when I can,,,,,,,,to think how many people dont have electricity,,,,,or a car or tv,,,,,,,,I can do with out much more. When I made my incubator I had to go out and buy a regular light bulb
cause all mine were flourescent wringy dingys.
I am working on a rain barrel system to water the garden,,,,,no more watering from the hose. Too $$$$$$$ high
I am growing field peas and buckwheat for chickens on top of my food in the garden
I also forage for food, there are berrys across the road and I have found morrels before. I was thinking of getting a fishing lisense. But I also forage at the college town we have close,,,,,ok dont anybody get sick now,,,,,,,,in the trash,,,,the college kids just moved out for the semester and they throw brand new packaged food,,canned,,bags of rice,,all sorts of stuff,,,fresh fruit. 6 packs At first I wasnt too keen on it but there are an amazing amount of people who do this and they are not bums. They also throw away practically new items 1/2 used bottles of laundry detergent, laundry stain remover, bottles and bottles of shampoo,,never used makeup, medicine and bandaides,,,,,(copper,,,,aluminum). antique dressers and lamps. OK OK enough already,,,,try doing that and then see how humble you feel,,,I know a lot of people in other countrys would be just amazed at what they could live on out of the garbage...and I saw a lot of people just amazed at what they saw. Crazy huh? $ down the drain for someone else to capitalise on
