with you gjd..
I love my farm and I will keep commuting 23 miles to work one way because I love the hands on nature of my job. You can keep the city.
Do I conserve? Yes. I made modifications to my 12-year-old house that cut my heating bill by 30 percent this winter. My monthly electric bill is down 10 percent from last year and 30 percent over 4 years ago.
Do I recycle? Yes and from what I see every week on my way to work I recycle far more than anyone who lives in the city. Most of the houses I pass put out 1 small bin for every 3 barrels of garbage. I put out 4 large bins for every bag of garbage.
Do I use solar power on the farm? Yes, when possible.
Do I use wind? No. Because the town will not let me put up a 60 foot tower to get above the tree line and I will not take down the trees.
I would love to see what kind of good carbon offset I could write off from the hundreds of trees on my land.
How many trees does that skyscraper have?
