  sounds great...I'm in...as long as it's free

  Kate,

  This is a great idea and service. I am one of those starving greens who will check in regularly. I often announce that I want to take a vow of poverty, that this is my life's calling to be just very poor and very sustainable. Then my wife and kids tap me on the shoulder and look at me with questioning eyes as if to say, "Be poor if you must, but please bring home some sustenance for us". So...I really need some pragmatic tips on how to do this right (the kids are only 2 and 5 - they can't even work yet).

  One question/comment often on my mind. It seems so hard and impossible to change culture, convert to sustainability alone or for a single family. Wouldn't it be easier, better, less painful, more fun to convert en masse, in groups, in small networks, as whole communities? But I also don't want to have to move - I live here, this is home. Is there any way for brokeasses to unite in solidarity and help each other? I mean, besides your excellent column...

  Thanks a lot...
