18. Not as much as I could be
Energy - bike. But still on the grid. However, I do enjoy my darkness, and I put a sweater on if it gets cold. I'm only 27, so that helps.

Heathcare - I try not to get hurt or sick. Not taking any pills or medication. I get exercise with the bike. Again, only 27, so that helps.

Food - don't buy enough from local growers.

Construction - I can be handy when I need to be. I'm no architect though. I'll fix the things that people normally just chuck out.

Consumption - I'm not a things guy. I've never gone into Wal-Mart. I re-use things as much as possible.

No cell phone, but I do have this contraption that I'm typing on.

I know these little things I do won't make much difference, because there are 6.5 billion people on this planet. Granted, most don't even have a choice, but still. It's my small, and most likely pointless, way of sticking it to the system. I can do better, but then, isn't that the mind set that got us in this mess in the first place?
