Our post-workday commute discussion determined there are two extremes on the Crunchie spectrum.
A. The Yuppie Hippie : One who has the means to spends a lot of money to make a point. Everything is organic, they will only buy from a set list of both environmentally and human rights efficient businesses, and they probably own only hybrids.
B. "Nearly Amish". I probably don't need to elaborate any further on the end of the scale.
Apparently, i fall somewhere in between, only probably more to the Amish side of center. Now, while I have always thought that I would enjoy living and working in a closed community for a short time now and then, that full time existence is just not for me. I enjoy growing my own food and making do with whatever i can find to make into something else, but also enjoy planning elaborate children's parties complete with matching napkins...i love matching napkins (guilty pleasure).
So, are you a fellow cruncher?
In the seventies I really thought I was a hippie in my heart, but I didn't know what that meant until I grew up and found out what being a hippie during the 60's and 70's meant -- and it wasn't this little country girl.
