This is a blog about personal finance, particularly looking at financial independence. When you start cutting expensive waste out of your life, it’s impossible to not also notice that you’re being a lot kinder to the planet. Now, I don’t know that we’ll ever be what I suppose would be called “Environmentally Independent”, which would be a mixture of being zero waste and also having net personal greenhouse gas emissions of zero or less. But I can share some examples of how our journey towards financial independence has made us much less harsh on the environment.
