I am reading more and more from these yuppie greens about hybrid cars, green houses, on property gardens etc. While laced with good intentions these all cost lots of money. What about the rest of us.. I cant afford 35000 for a hybrid.
The 85 jeep cherokee (aka Dumpiemobile)(4banger engine) works just fine and is green. It tallies less than 1000 miles a year on the road. My fav means of travel is walk, ride bike or public transport. As for the high dollar bike.. My dumpie bike was a frankenbike made out of parts I have scrounged and found. My luxury Raleigh mountain bikewas a gift (dumpster found by older son and rebuilt). So cant say I have spent more than $20-$25 (mostly on tires and tubes).
Attire for all of us comes from finds. Pre owned and worn in are our mottos. Eco friendly on the cheap because we are saving the stuff from the landfill by reusing it.
As for the green house the old double wide is pure recycleable housing. Aluminum siding and roof, light sheetrock walls with recycled newspaper insulation. All the appliances that have been replaced have been replaced with curb finds or CL freebies. The furniture is also curb found, yard found or thrift store finds.
Our diet is solid and nutritious based on the free/cheap system of acquisition. Cooking methods are simple, BBQ ( curb finds 1gas 1 charcoal)or stove during the summer, alot of crock pot during the winter. whole and in season ingredients . With 3 kids its hard to keep all happy so the occasional SONIC or McD's. My gardening skills are quite amateurish but improving as time goes by. Tomatoes, Zuchs and cukes are in the yard now with assorted herbs. That will add some more variety come August. Right now the greens and dumpie veggies and fruits are wonderful.

It doesnt cost alot of money to be green.It takes ingenuity and a tad of eccentricity to make it work.
