Great post, and I too enjoyed the Mennonite quote.

And……can you all quit buying bottled water? You would be astounded at how much oil is used to produce the bottles, and transport the product – and the empties never go away – they collect on otherwise pristine beaches worldwide – and most of the water comes straight from a tap somewhere. Bottled water – my pet peeve.

LOL – you’re right that most 2 kid families don’t need an SUV. I can’t imagine wanting to pay for that gas unless you absolutely needed the extra space!

What an awesome post!

I marvel at how much trash my family produces. It truly feeds absurd and plain wrong. Trying to figure out how to change that.

Also, we planted a church that is intentionally local–all our members live “within walking distance” of the school we rent for weekly worship. Guess how many people walk? Um, me and my kids. And maybe our friends across the street. We (and I speak from the anit-Vermont context of Los Angeles) need to deal with our emotional dependency on our cars.

Very nice post! I’m annoyed by every little food wrapper I toss in the trash. Everything is not only pre-packaged, it’s often over-packaged. Even trash that goes to the landfill bothers me. I have a deep suspicion that unless the earth is liberated and renewed at Christ’s appearing first, future generations will be digging into the landfills for resources.

LOL … families with lots of kids SHOULD be driving a minivan. It’s the families with ONE kid who don’t need it. Or even my family doesn’t need it … with two. Well, we do now that we’re a hockey family to drag all that gear around. But … most 2 kid families don’t “need” a minivan or an SUV. But some I know have both.

Good post. I love that quote – “The cost of something is that amount of life which must be exchanged for it.” I see so many people living “frugally” and they think it makes them more godly, but they exchange so much life for their cheap food/cheap clothes/cheap everything.

I have always wondered, though, what a family with lots of kids is supposed to drive if not minivans and SUV’s….
