Just wondered if avoiding “buying” would exclude bartering/local currency? I am gradually switching from spending money to spending local currency (my local system is http://www.centralcoastlets.org) but there are lots of LETS around the world and a South African organisation (www.community-exchange.org) which provides the software to run them free of charge. Just some food for thought… of course I probably can’t avoid spending money altogether but it is a nice thought!

Hi Katy-

I just found your site and I love it! I have a similar site– http://eco-steps.blogspot.com that focuses on the little things or “eco-steps” we can all do to make a big difference.

I’ll be stopping by more often. Keep up the great work! Amy

Selma,

There is a “subscribe” box in the middle column. Just write your e-mail address in the box and and then click the “subscribe” box. Feedburner (who manages my subscriptions) will send you a confirmation e-mail. Then you will receive The Non-Consumer Advocate in your inbox.

Love this blog! So glad to find people blogging (and living) the same sort of principles I care about too.

[...] of you to be able to make your own choices about issues that are more personal. For example, I do the Compact; like Katy, no one else in my house does. I can’t require my husband to commit to buying [...]

I am a master gardener and my profession is programmer/project manager. This spring, I taught myself the PHP programming language to improve my professional skill set. To practice, I created The Farmer’s Garden website. The site, http://www.thefarmersgarden.com is a place where people can post free classifieds to sell, trade or give away their surplus backyard garden produce.

I launched my site in May 2009 and it is nationwide. I think it is a great resource for members of your community. It is very easy to grow more produce than you and your family can use. Why not share your local, fresh and delicious vegetables, fruit, berries, etc. with others?

Registration is free and required to post a classified. Registration is not required to search the classifieds. Can you please provide a link to my site, http://www.thefarmersgarden.com on your site?

Thank you,
