Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

Much better for the environment, the animals, and overall human health.

I need to buy a compost bin. I'm feeling guilty about all the carrot pulp I throw away after the carrots are juiced.

Glad you got through to your friend! I worked with someone for a while and he and his wife are just consummate consumers - threw away a lot of food, printed every goddamn email or note going through reams of paper, bought something every time they went out - and I had to move offices because I was so frustrated and was having a hard time not screaming (especially when I heard the printer start up again...)

I think some people waste things so they don't feel deprived. I dunno.
