Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

I have read that some people, especially children, starve because of food aversions, old or new ones developed in times of trouble. It's not common, but some just shut down and refuse to eat. Definitely something to be researched by anyone with fussy eaters.

As for waste disposal, for me the first big thing would be to make sure toilets weren't used after water was no longer available to flush them, not one lapse. I'm perfectly ready to turn into an adaptation nazi upon demand, whatever alternative we set up not negotiable.

Entertainment issues didn't occur to me, beyond no light at night, because we're empty nesters with lots of books, garden, nearby fishing, etc., etc. But absolutely! It's all too easy to imagine families falling apart over entertainment withdrawal and long hours without normal ways of filling them. Serious issue...
