Survey: Are You Getting Frugal Yet?
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 10. 7.08
Last week we asked if you had flipped out yet; it seems we were just getting started. Collin recently made some recommendations for frugal green living, including riding or walking on trips under two miles, hanging your laundry, lowering your thermostat and eating less meat. Lots of us have made changes in our lifestyles in the last few years, but have the events of the last week caused you to change your ways more rapidly and radically?

I've cut back on some nonessentail spending but I haven't cut back completely. I also don't worry about what I do have (at least not yet).
