Commendable lifestyle! We live in almost the same way :)

> That is neat! People in general will not change their behavior.

Unless you rolled out of the womb with the plans to live in the manner you've described, there must at some point have been things that changed your behavior. Out of everyone living like you and me globally, the ones who have been raised by their parents to do so are a really tiny minority. I've lived on two opposite sides of the globe, and in both places they count for <1%. The rest of us has implemented lifestyle changes after being faced with realities.

Honestly probably just the result of having weird parents who didn’t discourage weird decisions by me as a kid. We lived in a small house (without air conditioning) in Florida and spent summers on an even smaller (and even hotter) wooden sailboat.

So I was never afraid of doing things most people wouldn’t consider just to see what would happen.

And even more honestly I just like living this way.

If the Earth was cooling down and we had to warm the planet up by driving more or whatever I’d live the same way I do now because I like it. I wouldn’t care about doing the right thing for the planet.

So I can’t fault the people who just like living a different way that happens to bad for the planet. They like their lives so let ‘em go nuts.
