My major remaining crimes include living and working in a major metropolitan area which necessitates using a car and being reliant on supermarkets for food. Unfortunately in this society reducing your carbon footprint also reduces your income and should in fact eliminate the use of Federal Reserve Notes altogether as a means of exchange. A bit of a catch 22 situation. Perhaps when the dollar finally collapses people will be more open to other methods of exchange but right now it is rather difficult to make major changes in your life without money to finance it. In the meantime connecting up with others of the same mindset is the only way I see to make any progress with this problem.<br /><br />This article was written by someone in Germany. So his recommendation to not buy anything made in America might be a little easier for him than it will be for us. If I don't buy American then I will be shipping in all of my goods from overseas which is not sustainable, but is in fact the only choice the corporations have given me. At least I do not buy from the large corporations whenever possible. I love my IPOD, what can I say! <br /><br />What needs to occur here is a major paradigm shift in the way of thinking for a critical mass of the worlds population. That in a small way is what this blog is all about.Billy Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10101212130246045698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5890190304660500880.post-13487419475442410082009-10-09T07:38:47.710-07:002009-10-09T07:38:47.710-07:00So with all of that being said...
