			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing I have always been fascinated with is the concept of sustainable living.  That is to say, buying land, living in a house, &#8220;off the grid&#8221;.  This would include growing your food, solar power, etc.</p>
<p>I happened to be perusing the vast world wide web and found the carnival of the green <a href="http://scalarparty.livejournal.com/139746.html">(22nd edition of carnival of the green)</a>.  Some very interesting content at these carnivals, at least for me.  Perusing the 21st version of the carnival of the green, I came across <a href="http://ecostreet.com/blog/?p=61">&#8220;How to Green Your Life&#8221;</a>.  At this point in time, it was the mother lode of information of how to get your toes wet into the &#8220;Greener&#8221; life.</p>
<p>Most of the 30+ points of how to green your life, actual read like a personal finance site recommending how to make your paycheck last a little longer.  Things such as, turn off the lights when you leave a room, or yet my favorite, &#8220;Put a brick or plastic bottle of water in your toilet cistern to save water.&#8221;  Imagine that, by taking a stance to save costs (to achieve the old adage: spend less than you earn), you can actually be making our world a better place (yes, a greener planet is a better place to me)!  Maybe, I&#8217;m lame, but it put a smile on my face to realize this!</p>
