[quote=Anonymous]We do most of this stuff, but not because it's a "lifestyle" or because I'm trying to define myself as "crunchy." Most of it is cheaper and just healthier and not all that difficult. Homebirth, breastfeeding, baby wearing and co-sleeping wasn't really a "choice" for me - they just made sense for me and our children. I'm vegetarian I guess as a stand against the meat/animal product industry, but also because it's cheaper and healthier. Same with organic food. Cleaning products are so incredibly easy to make and so much cheaper than buying chemicals anyway. Recycling - duh...why would you not? We don't have battery-operated toys because they're annoying and don't encourage creative play. We don't have a car because we live in the city. Using cloth towels and napkins instead of paper is just about the easiest thing you can do ever for the environment. The things you listed are really easy, do not require any extra time, and make a big difference in the health of our family and the environment, plus, they're cheaper. Why would you not do these things?[/quote]
