Change my evil ways

So currently I'm a big house person. What I mean by that is that my S.O. and I, and our two dogs Gracie and Murphy, occupy a 3 story (two story plus daylight basement), 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath house. I've often thought and voiced to the S.O. that it's a waste, too much house for the two of us. Two of the bedrooms pretty much stay closed at all times, except on the rare occasion we have guests.

It goes to the whole overly consumeristic and bigger is better mentality that many of us have. It's a bad mentality. More isn't actually better, it's just, well, more. Not to mention the whole environmental unfriendliness of it.

I'm not moving immediately. I'm too damn comfortable, and sometimes thats a bad thing - too much comfort can soak up all those resolutions to do the right things - do the right thing, or do the easy thing. Often I choose the easy one. I don't always practice what I preach right away, but I keep preaching anyway, because just because I'm lazy doesn't mean I don't believe it. And when the time comes I'll choose smarter.

So, for those of you that want to do the right things, eventually, a little help and information never hurts:

The Small House Society

Wee Houses

And, if you don't believe in global warming (and, yes, big houses are a contributor), read this, or this, or this.
