I think quite a bit like you, and we do a lot of extra recycling, FreeCycling, second-hand shopping, etc. <BR/><BR/>There's a great Yahoo group I found called Cindy's Porch. She's all about "shop at home first", "do instead of buy", etc. I think you'd enjoy her message.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your quest to live a simpler life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429332555622125334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17025091.post-64399725484068206102007-02-11T10:30:00.000-08:002007-02-11T10:30:00.000-08:00I agree so much with this.

I soon discovered that life wasn't about things but about people, love, and creating. Take care.
