I would love to have a garden, but my past experience was that it took way too much time, wear and tear on the body, and water in comparison to the result. I would spend months tending a broccoli plant and the go to the grocery store and see the same thing for $1. However, I think gardening is an important survival skill and a good hobby. I'm sure good gardeners know how to garden efficiently for maximum harvest with less resource use.
I agree about driving and it's surprising how people are still driving gas guzzlers. New Hampshire is a great example of abundant free or cheap recreation.
