Stuff

I just found this interesting post on stuff and clutter. Go and read about Sara and her year long compact to:

• Not buy any NEW items for one year.
• To only buy items that she NEEDED.
• To not buy any convenience foods when grocery shopping with the exception of bread and chips. To strive to eat in season, buying as local as possible. To bring cloth grocery bags to the store, and create a weekly menu/grocery list EVERY week. Not go out to eat at a restaurant if she had the option of eating at home.

Obviously, she has made some very extreme lifestyle choices like using cloth toilet paper and going on tour with her husband and child in an RV powered by veggie oil. (Can you believe they can actually do that?! Golden Fuel Systems could convert your vehicle too!) But what I like is the challenge to re-think some issues that we have just taken for granted.

And don't worry Dad. The toilet paper stays.
