1. I will not be composting my pooh or reusing my toilet paper. If Ed Begley Jr gets to wipe his sweet little fanny with fresh paper everyday- then, damn it - so can I. (Great interview, Crunchy.)
2. I will not be eating entirely locally. Sorry- French people make really good cheese and wine. Too good. Suspiciously good. And until an avocado tree grows in Brooklyn, I will be buying mine from Mexico. (Seriously- I do think knowing food and culture are extremely important- not to be entirely discarded in the name of local eating. More of that when I am in a serious rant mood.)
3. I will not be giving my kids ONLY eco-toys. Legos are the coolest things ever made. And unless you have spent hours a day on the floor trying to play with 2 & 4 year old boys - you have no idea what a gift they are. There are only so many times I can drive Thomas around the friken track. Of course Mama didn't kick Thomas under the heater. Why on earth would she do that? Besides- I can't see Legos glass line as their best seller.

Oh Needle...I can tell I'm going to like you already...
Legos--Awesome toys, but they hurt like heck when you step on them without shoes on...
Toilet Paper--Buy the TP with recycled paper content...then you can still feel like you're "doing your part"
As far as being a strict locavore goes...I am working on finding the balance...including local foods, but not exclusively. I don't think there is any local chocolate source, so that just won't do...I need my chocolate!
