[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Breastfeeding (1) Baby wearing (1) Cloth diapering (1) Organic food (1/2) Vegan/vegetarian/other dietary choices based on environmental impact (1 -- we buy meat and eggs from Polyface and/or another local farm where we know the animals are treated humanely, are free range, and not given antibiotics or hormones) Recycling (1) Natural cleaning products (1) Avoidance of plastic and/or battery-operated toys (1/2 -- we accept them from grandparents and others but generally don't buy them ourselves) Co-sleeping (1) Car-free, hybrid car, or car-lite (one car for a family) (0 -- impossible for us right now, but definitely want to get an electric car when we replace DH's commuter car one day) = 8 Bonus points - gardening and buying local produce and canning it (I'm gonna give that 3 points), natural births with midwives (had two of those, one at home -- how many points do I get for that?), mama cloth (that gets me at least another whole point, I'm guessing), reusable grocery bags/dishcloths instead of paper towels/cloth napkins (1), energy saving measures in the home (1) (this includes keeping thermostat higher/lower than we would prefer, using all energy efficient bulbs way before the law was passed, making efforts to use less water). I'm probably forgetting some stuff but that apparently makes me crunchier than most others who have responded so far. Total: 16 What do I win? ;) P.S. If you saw me on the street you would never know any of this about me. These are changes we have been making for years now and we are continuing to evolve. Our ultimate plan is to try to grow and preserve most of our own food and buy the rest locally (seriously!). But we need land to do that ... working on it. Crunchy points = I don't know, infinity? :) I don't really consider myself that crunchy though. We don't use family cloth yet! When we get there we will have truly arrived, lol.[/quote] I am WAY crunchier than you are! And i don't look it either![/quote]
