What modern conveniences are the least we need?

[WhiteTara]

13. I have been gradually weening

from old to new technology. We are down to one car and it's an electric hybrid. To town and back can all be done on the battery range.
I can't remember when we had our last vacation, but I don't see one in our near future either. The idea of flying just sounds so terrible that I can't bring myself to even think about it. Cruising is a death wish as they are floating petri dishes.

We are having the house weatherized and replacing our energy suck HVAC with a heat pump/exchange and that is my fav of all our things...warm or cool without a million dollar price tag that belches toxins in the air.
Depending on the cost, I want to replace some doors too. This house was built in the late 80s when fuel was plentiful and cheap and as owner/builders, they cut costs everywhere, so the word square is hardly known here.

I'm sure there are many things that we can do, but little by little we'll make our little spot more eco friendly.
