Why I would like to be a Frugal living host some day.

I would like to nominate myself for host, if not now, then when the current time period is over and new hosts (except primary if F&EEL group choses one) change.

This has been a big part of my adult life, living frugally, conserving and being energy efficient. I follow MrUP room to room muttering about turning out the lights, channeling my dear old father. I've lived in several states, including rural WA and bush AK with no electricity, running water, etc. It was mind opening to me and I appreciate greatly everytime I can turn a faucet and get not only cold but hot running water. I am always open to hear what others are doing as we need to share. Resources are limited and most people in the 1st world use so much more than their share, than what is needed, than what is good for the world or even ourselves.

Thank you.
