I am wondering if anyone belongs to a list, or knows of one, that
would be appropriate for someone that is researching the simple
living lifestyle and working toward that goal. I would love to find
a place to "talk" with people that are going through the same process
and those that have "been there done that" as well. Any links would
be much appreciated.

Thanks a bunch - Tina

I would love to move closer to a simple lifestyle but I don't have
things set up that way in my life yet. At least right now, though,
I'm an expert at frugal living. I know frugal is not always simple
living because simple can mean living with less (which may or may not
be simple--gardening is definately not simple), or it can just mean a
simpler, more organized life (which can mean living with more
expensive products to keep your life simple--think, Simple Living
Magazine). Gardening and cooking from scratch is not simple, but it
does use less resources. This is opposed to having your grocery
store deliver and ordering out, which uses more resources but less of
your own time and energy. I'm assuming your definition of simple
living is the same one as mine and that you're looking to live with
less while using less resources. Here is a list of my sites:

Of course there are many others.
