No way, my name is David and I have a personal finance blog and was thinking about starting an environmental blog. Those are pretty much my two passions. I will definitely be checking out this guys blog and that howstuffworks recycling thing.

Frugal Dad,

I agree 100%. We use and waste much more than is necessary. If people were more aware of their consumption, we would all save a lot of money and resources.

David’s Good Human blog is one of my favorite reads. I definitely believe in the connection in being green and being frugal. In fact, if more people were more frugal we wouldn’t have the resource shortages we are now facing.

Right on. I’ve noticed that I have actually been growing more aware of the environment as I put more effort into saving money. They definitely seem to be correlated.

Thanks for the post.
