Is this for serious? It reads almost like a troll post. >I was electrocuted by exposed house wiring as a boy. No, he was shocked. Electrocution means death.

>I was electrocuted by exposed house wiring as a boy.
No, he was shocked. Electrocution means death.
> I use a butane stove. It is much cheaper and more energy efficient than a Keurig
I doubt that small parcels of butane are cheaper than any electric coffee maker. If he wants to optimize this he needs to look at a rocket stove and a high efficiency pot. http://www.wired.com/2014/07/a-jet-engineer-designs-a-saucepan-that-heats-up-super-fast/ http://www.wired.com/2014/07/a-jet-engineer-designs-a-saucep...
>First, I never cook.
Good for him, I guess. That's not a reasonable solution for most people though.
>Next, I switched from beer to red wine.
I'm a little surprised that he doesn't make his own. It's very easy and cheap to make red wine.
>most of them are Priuses which use DC motors so I’m good there
No, they don't, and I'm starting to think he's got a fixation on the names of things.
>I get my clothing custom made in China for prices you would not believe and have new ones regularly shipped to me.
Okay, this is not about reducing waste anymore, there are few things more wasteful than the global clothing/fashion supply chain. I'd bet he gives his used clothing to a thrift... yup. Those clothes get, wait for it, laundered, and then probably baled up and shipped to Africa or Haiti destroying local clothing manufacturing in those areas.
>My apartment came with a Nest but I removed it
He could have just switched it off.
>Traffic and trash and pollution will evaporate,
Nope, just displaced to Asia. Okay, I'm done with Rhinehart's post now, and I can see that most everyone else is as well.
