Not very crunchy. We do use all green products (as much vinegar, baking soda, etc. as possible), try to use as little plastic as possible, eat as organic as possible, don't eat canned foods, recycle of course... but we could be doing much more!

Pretty crunchy.
Vegetarian, garden growing, glass or paper in place of plastic when possible, use organics when possible. All natural cleaning products...
Plan to cloth diaper, baby-wear, co-sleep, baby-led-weaning, breastfeeding (till age 2), natural water birth...
So yeah. Crunchy.

What is EBF?
Just googled "crunchy"...interesting.

I'm not all about "organic" after learning a bit about the process. I'm more concerned w/buying local and certified naturally grown than "organic". We try when we can to buy items that are at the very least in state. But it's not always possible.

I make our own laundry detergent and dishwasher powder. I hang dry when possible. SUPER excited to have a clothesline at the new house!

We use minimal variety of cleaning products and with the exception of bleach they are all green products.
We recycle pretty much everything.

Biking to work is not a possibility for us but I take the train daily.

We will be finally starting to compost at the new house. Grow our own veggies.
I save all old tshirts to use as rags but I think that's more being frugal than anything!

You just have to be careful not to get "Green Washed"!!!

@miss-spunkin:
They sell small indoor composters that are made to keep in smells! We registered for one but no one bought it for us!

Nope, not crunchy. I do some things (recycle, reuse, cloth diaper, etc. But I know I could be doing way more.

I don’t think of myself as “crunchy” but….

We buy as much locally sourced food as possible to reduce the impact on the environment from importing foods (kills me to walk into Whole Foods in the middle of strawberry season and they only have organic strawberries shipped from CA, when there is a wonderful strawberry farm literally 5 miles or less down the road!!!!).

We used recyclable grocery bags, and recycle all of our plastic/glass/cardboard/etc. Last summer we saved our veggie scraps for a neighbor with a compost bin.

We use cloth dishtowels instead of paper towels, and cloth napkins instead of paper napkins.

I don’t buy any skincare products that have been tested on animals, and try to avoid those with animal by-products in them.

I do drive an SUV, but I drive less than 8k miles a year, and I buy carbon credits that offset my SUV’s carbon footprint so I don’t feel bad about that (plus, I live in Maine where it snows, a lot, so 4WD is very handy/necessary).

I had to google 'crunchy', too.

Living in Seattle has gotten me to be more crunchy than I used to be. I do try to think of the environment as much as I can but I'm practical about it. I still have a budget at home. If I had money, I would probably be more crunchy.

I am going to use cloth diapers. I recycle and compost as much as I can. (We see compost containers everywhere in Seattle. I wish I could have my own compost but we live in an apartment complex and not much space.) I started saving money and gas by taking the bus. I harp on my husband when he doesn't recycle.

Not really, organic for dirty dozen, reuseable grocert bags, cloth diaper and Honest diapers for daycare. That's about it.

Not crunchy at all. Tbh, proudly so.

We recycle, buy local. We cook from scratch and don't buy a lot of processed food. We have energy efficient light globes. Dh rides to work every day, I try to do as many errands locally so I can walk. I run outside instead of on a TM. I EBF til LO was 8 months and make most baby food.

We are semi-crunchy. We have worms (compost) and feed them off and on, we cloth diaper, cloth wipe and EC, EBF, babywear, recycle and go to the Farmer's Market when it's convenient, reuse our plastic bags, line dry half of our clothes, made our own baby food, pre-registered for the Nissan Leaf but didn't get one, and bought glassware and threw out most of our tupperware. Most of our decisions are based on if it's COST-EFFECTIVE, first and foremost, then if it good for the earth and convenient for us we do it. We buy organic when it's on sale or if it looks really tasty. I just put up our mango from our tree on Craigslist and offered to swap them with other fruit lovers. That was a very crunchy thing to do. We'll see if I follow through.

We are semi crunchy. We are not very good at recycling here & not that it is an excuse, but unfortunately the area we live in isn't really up to the standards with it that most places are, which makes it difficult! We buy mostly organic & free range meats, we cloth diaper, we practice elimination communication, I make all of DDs baby food, I exclusively nurse, etc. I want to get better about switching to all green cleaning products.

Medium crunchy? I never thought of myself as crunchy, but I guess we do a lot of crunchy things.

- all natural cleaning products at home
- I rarely eat meat, and when I do it's chicken that is natural, free range, etc.
- reusable grocery bags
- cloth napkins and dishtowels at home
- recycle
- compost
- eat local, organic (we're CSA members)
- no plastic when possible
- our cars are old, and mine is very gas efficient. Plus we carpooled until very recently.
- we're hoping for a natural birth and to EBF
- planning to cloth diaper, baby wear, baby led wean

@miss-spunkin: Have you thought of vermicomposting? We live in a condo, and I vermicompost on our balcony.

Less crunchy than most of the above.
