Low Impact Lifestyle

Welcome to Ralph's guide to living a Low Impact Lifestyle (LIL). A LIL endeavors to get the most from life with the smallest impact on the environment. This requires a complex set of tradeoffs between covenience and ecological concerns. Also critical is access to alternatives to conventional wastefull practices. This page is not a full compendium of solutions, but rather an example of one person's individual efforts.
