Another vote for World's Best. We tried almost every non-clay litter, and this is by far our favorite!

TV, laptops, phones, food (water bottles are fine). We allow our pets (both cats and dogs) -- they're part of the family, after all.

We don't allow guests, though. That room is only for us! We don't have kids, but if we ever do, they'll have limited access. Everyone needs a room of her own :)

I alternate between Kiss My Face's Miss Treated and Pureology's hydrate series (they are also sulfate-free, vegan, and organic). They get my hair plenty clean -- and I use a lot of product, so I do require some oomph. My hair's processed, but it's silky, shiny, and healthy with these shampoos. My stylist tried to convince me to try their new line, but I'm sticking with what works!

I'd like to see a similar post about people getting their children to behave. Dogs are often more trained than kids.

My favorite thing about this is the lack of smoke :) Someone in our neighborhood has a fire pit that gets smoke in everyone's houses, and it has caused a lot of conflict. A nice alternative!

Another Portland vote. We lived there for three years and only left because we went to graduate school.

NYC just hired the sustainability director from Portland, so in a few years, you might be lured you back east ;)

Just a note that the picture is about Buy Nothing Day, which is specifically aimed at countering Black Friday. I think most simple living advocates want people to realize that consumption does not produce happiness and to consume less overall, not avoid consumption altogether.

I think the reasonable position is, as you state, responsible, thoughtful consumption. And civil commenting :)
