My husband and I don't eat meat (I eat local eggs on occasion), and we live a cruelty-free life. We've even saved goldfish from being thrown in the trash at a big chain hardware store. To us, every life is precious! Thank you for posting your thoughts on this issue. Though I don't expect everyone to stop consuming meat, it is nice to see when consumers make a conscious effort to buy their meat from humane sources.McCormick'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05673793064190402585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244931229580757973.post-44515965805661881562011-01-09T22:55:58.736+11:002011-01-09T22:55:58.736+11:00Every little thing you do makes a difference..

I already...Hi Hazel; some very noble thoughts here. I already follow some of the tenets you advocate, and I think I shall be adopting a few more. Following a sustainable, environment-friendly lifestyle is a lot more difficult in the urban environment though.<br /><br />For one anxious minute when I saw the thumbnail of your post, I thought you had acquired your own one-eyed horse. Maybe one day...?Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244931229580757973.post-37386356643027250702010-12-30T16:56:45.837+11:002010-12-30T16:56:45.837+11:00Obviously I have no time to work in the op-shop or...Obviously I have no time to work in the op-shop or at Edgar's Mission despite thinking what a great idea both are.I do most of the others although cannot kill my own meat.I buy locally produced products as far as possible, recycle, reuse, rehome, rethink and have downsized all requirements for a happy lifestyle.I support local businesses, try not to buy imports, am not on mains water and use solar energy for part of the needs.Solar puts more heat back into the atmosphere than it collects, wind power is time limited, seasonal and dangerous for birdlife and human life.The alternative is to cut down on power consumption and use alternatives.Heating is done by wood taken from fallen trees cut on the property and gardens are not watered in Summer.I belong to a local barter group and strongly support the idea of barter and alternative currencies.I don't fly or take long journeys, use the library and swap books with others.Any honey consumed is produced on the property by a friend and it often replaces sugar is cakes etc.I sell goose eggs to restauarants at $1 each in season and sometimes a small number of geese to start a new flock in an orchard - my geese are not edible!<br />I have what for me is a perfect lifestyle, eat well and am fit and happy.As a retiree I have time to write and am occasionally published in magazines whose ethics I can agree with.it brings me in subscriptions,copies of the publication and other payments in kind.I'm an amateur photographer and do occasional small projects for people I know, payment is in kind.<br />I am surrounded by people who live the same way so it's no hardship and it's not unusual.<br />Go Hazel on your resolutions, onya!!Vonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421069895155350144noreply@blogger.com
