Living life sustainably...

Got this from a friend of a friend of a friend. The life philosophy in this video is something that we all should subscribe to, though not many of us have the guts to do it.



I like it because, in a small way, we went through some of the ordeals shown in the video - like:

1. Sold everything we've got and keep only the essentials to move to another country.
2. Chose a strategic location to live in so that we don't have to own a car.
3. Walked to kid school everyday and felt that this is a form of exercise and help with our health a lot.
4. Measured all the kilowatts of energy appliances at home to save energy and to see which consumed the most.
