I enjoyed the article, and yet I do not think I can bring myself to do all of these things, I do most of them in my daily life. Although my compost heap has really taken a backseat lately. I wonder if it's still out there...

I am huge fan of farmer's markets - if you do farm shares or coops they are cheaper as well.
Not only does the money go directly to the farmer - (they only make 5-30% on grocery stuff and sometimes not even that) but it also helps cut down on sprawl - the pressure for farmers making $75,000 a year on land worth $10,000,000 is pretty intense - if they can make a decent living farming many are less inclined to sell.

If you can't get local - buy Organic Valley - it is farmer-owned.

I also make my own cleaners -and for most stuff warm water and light soap are enough....baking soda is pretty effective too.

however i disagree with the meatless- just buy grass fed humanely raised beef, poultry and dairy and eggs..... exclusively and you'll be doing more than skipping meat once if you eat industrial foods.

The article lists some great things to do just for yourself, but I would urge people to get involved in affecting bigger, societal changes. Write your political representatives and tell them you want to see your world / country / state / city / neighborhood go green!
