I consider myself to be an ascetic. I have not drunk alcohol or coffee, or owned a TV, in 20 years. I also don’t drink soda, eat candy, add sugar, or smoke cigarettes. I take cold showers only, am a vegetarian, and do not take even legal medicine. I do not own a car. I use less than 170 KwH of electricity per month, which is 80% less than the average American household (888 KwH). All of my electrical energy comes from Wind Power. I am Kyoto Protocol complaint (i.e., I use the amount of energy required had the US entered into that agreement).
