10. We never use our kitchen stove. We have both an earth oven and a rocket stove we cook on.

For baking, roasting, grilling, we use the earth oven. They make the best pizzas! For stove top heating we use the rocket stove since it just uses small twigs that break off the trees for fuel.

We don't eat meat, line dry the clothes, grow a garden, ride the bicycles and vespas in place of the pickup when we can, and we went solar on the city house.
