Hypothesis
I have a hypothesis that an economic recession will be good for American culture. Although a slowing economy with increased unemployment is almost never a good scenario, the effect of less buying power might be generally positive for our materialistic culture. I have already seen several stories about ways people are saving: making their own bread, staying in to eat, having potlucks with the neighbors, walking everywhere if possible. I've started to do my part by using only cold water for laundry and getting Heidi to cut my hair. :)
Boston.com's 20 ways readers save is full of good ideas. I especially like the homemade dog food.
