I am cooking with smartest methods!
1. I select more percentage of fresh foods in the shops, that will cook much faster than rice and beef.
2. I always walk home from the shop. Carry my stuff in textile bags.
3. Just from my smarter purchasing, I do not need to run a fridge and a freezer to store my food 24/7.
4. Thanks to my dietary choices and clever use of an electric water kettle I can cook many meals per week on extremely little electricity.
5. My cooking methods have many positive side-effects: i need much less hot water and detergents to wash my dishes. I never need to scrub pots and pans when I cook directly in the dish that I am eating in. I produce much less waste, and can return 99% of all packaging to recycling.
I am writing/sketching on an article or manual or cook-book, to be able to educate many people about how to become as energy efficient as I am. Still a work-in-progress, and I am no professional chef or a writer, so I would really appreciate some collaboration to improve it, and to spread it to the masses.

I am currently living without Car, TV, Fridge/freezer, Dish washer, phones. All the light bulbs in my home is 2W or 7W LED:s. And I wake up earlier in the morning, and go to bed earlier at night, so I don't have the need for electric lights so much each evening. (and my electricity is generated with about 45% hydro-power-dams, 45% nuclear, 5-10% renewables)
My electricity bill is now below half of what it used to be!!!
I use on average 2kWh per day, and the average in U.S. is 30kWh per day !!!
All of this combined make me feel very rich, I need to work much less, and I do not at all miss anything from modern "consumeristic" life. I still feel like I am extremely comfortable in my modern apartment in an average sized city.
I challenge everyone to try to beat my low carbon footprint!!! And I am prepared to help educate you, to improve your averages.
