Cleaning supplies: Diluted vinegar is an excellent cleaner. Many of the cleaners that most of us use (and even most body/ hair care products) have toxic ingredients. Shampoo has some scary stuff in it that absorbs through the skin. Incandescent bulbs: Why? So I can have a bunch of toxic mercury in my house, and if one breaks I'm supposed to call the EPA? When I sell my house, do I have to disclose that its infested with mercury? Hell no. Gimme incandescent. Besides, I hate the light that the twisties give off. My neighbor has twisties in his carriage lights, outside his garage. Leaves them on 24/7. Now THATS earth smart, huh? Probably logging the hours to see if he truly gets a million hours out of each bulb, so that if he doesn't, he can sue the manufacturer. Land line: Tried that many years ago, when unlimited calling plans on cell phones were crazy expensive. First cell bill afterwards was $375. Granted, that was a different time... As much as I hate my landline, the extra cell phones would cost me more than it does. All the other stuff: I pretty much agree. Gave up Starbucks a long time ago, even as an infrequent "luxury".
