I try really hard to avoid the use of a car, though I live in a city where I'm unable to always just walk ten miles to get to the stores. Groceries in this weather would be GONE.

When I have more money, I want to build a house that runs off solar energy as well, and I've already considered growing my own herbs and vegetables. I want a pumpkin patch (I'm guessing this is likely going to be the most ridiculous feat I ever decided to undertake, but I love pumpkin and it's not too high in calories). I really don't want to live in a city anymore, and I want to stop a lot of the stupid habits I have. I would like to grow more plants and have a more open house. Right now, I'm sitting in front of an air conditioner. I want a house where one fan and a decent amount of windows can at least bring some air flow, but I can deal with the heat.

I'm still a long ways off, but I have the plans in motion. I hate to say it, but I don't recycle (at least, not plastic and aluminum) because I've heard the chemicals they use to recycle some of that stuff can hurt the environment worse than the trash itself. As I don't really use anything with aluminum, I don't bother. I try to get paper sacks at the store since they're biodegradable. I wish less stuff was made with plastic, personally. It saves trees, but you can plant more of those. Plastic never seems to go away. I'm really at a loss. If I knew my facts and knew what was going to be the absolute best route to help the environment, I'd try to change how I do things. At the moment though, I just feel confused, since there are pros and cons to just about anything I choose.
