Internet problems.<br />Agree with your thoughts entirely YP, but as I read them I wondered if you had considered the amount of petrol you use as you and Clint gad about the countryside? That's something else to consider, as I assume Clint is neither hybrid nor electric - and wonder how much it costs for a regular charge-up for electric cars?<br /> I'm not a tea drinker, so I hope you won't begrudge me my one cup of decent coffee each morning!Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-9042936201869040102020-12-12T11:05:55.276+00:002020-12-12T11:05:55.276+00:00I am tempted to be lazy and do a copy and paste j...I am tempted to be lazy and do a copy and paste job from mine to yours, but I won't.

I bought a cottage in Whitby and then they promptly moved to Todmorden ;) At that stage Paul bought a cottage where he wanted to live. But this move to Yorkshire changed his life as well and he loved it.

The story horrified me that I simply quit buying new clothes. I wear very nice clothes. I haven't bought a new outfit since my son got married 7 years ago. True story. Funny thing? You would not know if I hadn't told you. Perfectly good clothes are sent to the thrift store for no other reason than people want to replace them.

After a few weeks I suggested that his comments were too long (often longer than the original post), that he was in effect taking over which was a breach of etiquette and that he would be better with a blog of his own. I also suggested he might like YP's excellent blog, so I might be responsible to an extent. He has since been relatively restrained on mine and I have enjoyed and welcomed his knowledgeable and pertinent contributions (he recently pointed me to an excellent video) whilst trying not to get into long detailed discussions. I'm sorry he seems to have abandoned me too, but I think he got too much encouragement here.

There, it became a way of life. Still took a bus to work even tho I had to drive five miles to get to the bus stop. Had a garden, even tho it was meager because of the high altitude and we had to spend $$$ to build it strong enough to keep the large animals out of it. I couldn't have a compost pile as that would have really drawn the large animals! The beautiful well water that I had there is one of the things that I miss the most in "town". We don't drive much at all now, not like when we both were employed. Turning off the lights is not a problem ... if I forget, the Bear reminds me within three seconds!!Peace Thymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361079101751470855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-22226801329536375312020-12-11T19:56:57.999+00:002020-12-11T19:56:57.999+00:00That is true but there if we truly care about redu...That is true but there if we truly care about reduction, it is worth looking at the worldwide taxiing of schoolchildren.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-2197216504422187252020-12-11T19:52:21.820+00:002020-12-11T19:52:21.820+00:00If everybody lived like you our concerns about glo...If everybody lived like you our concerns about global warming would be much reduced.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-88884388526552346122020-12-11T19:49:48.736+00:002020-12-11T19:49:48.736+00:00No need to apologise Bonnie.

My lighting costs for the whole house are less than burning a couple of pre-LED bulbs. I replaced most of my white goods and kitchen equipment with more energy efficient models. My electricity bill is less than it was 10 years ago but I use a great deal more equipment. I don't have an electric car because my principal journeys of any distance are from my home to Glasgow and the infrastructure is not yet there to support such journeys without great inconvenience. I occupy a house which is far bigger than is needed for one person but that suits my lifestyle (I could not have visitors otherwise). I keep my house warm. I drink a great deal of fizzy water (using a Sodastream) and tap water made into coffee. I've never consumed 'pop' or canned drinks (the occasional can of tonic for visitors' gin excepted!) Is wine production less energy consuming than for beer? I no longer fly anywhere except in emergencies. I could do a more to reduce my carbon imprint on the world but I think I've reached my limit for now.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-25809824511441788332020-12-11T18:01:55.686+00:002020-12-11T18:01:55.686+00:00These are all excellent suggestions and most are t...These are all excellent suggestions and most are things I have done all my life mainly because I was raised to be frugal and not waste anything. I do have a big problem with the way many products are made these days though. Many years ago you could buy an appliance (refrigerator, TV, etc.) and it would last quite a long time, often 20 years or more. If it broke down before it got too old you could get it repaired and thus avoid buying a new one and sending the old to a landfill. Well that is the old days and these days most things are not built to last - intentionally! I was even told that by a salesman the last time we replaced our refrigerator. The one we replaced had lasted over 20 years but I'm sure this one won't last that long. Most televisions today can not be repaired. Printers are also a good example. If a printer lasts over two years you are lucky and they usually cannot be repaired. I try to recycle items like these but often I know they still end up in a landfill somewhere. <br /><br />Sorry to go on so about this but it is really a pet peeve of mine. We all work so hard to conserve yet manufacturers continue to build products destined to add to the landfills in a much shorter time rather than build quality that lasts. All done in the name of money with no regard for pride of workmanship or the fact that they are adding to the world's waste twice as fast as necessary. <br /><br /><br /><br />Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17738727252267659979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-62577310158520485252020-12-11T17:43:51.193+00:002020-12-11T17:43:51.193+00:00The same reason there are C of E schools and Jewis...The same reason there are C of E schools and Jewish Schools. I was fortunate enough to go to one of the top Grammar Schools in Liverpool but only 90 people each year who got their first choice in the 11Plus were that fortunate.
