Can we substitute CSOB (Cheap son of a biatch) for green?

Buy and keep up old cars because the manufacturing is a sunk cost and they're greener (at least ones that get about 20 mpg+).
Drink tap water.
Use a clothes line.
Buy kids stuff at garage sales (bikes, toys, etc...) so that you're not contributing to new production.
Hand me down clothes, shoes, etc.. for your kids.
No TV, or at a minimum, only your old CRT and not a 42" flat panel.
No hand held video games for the kids (DS, etc..)
No iPods.
Kids don't NEED cell phones.
Don't run your AC.
Play under the sprinkler with the kids while watering your lawn.
Take showers with your wife =)
Don't stand in front of an open refrigerator (how many of us have heard that before?!).
Turn off the lights when you leave the room.
Use a corded home phone, not cordless.

Sounds like the 70s doesn't it?

Here's more:
Don't buy newspapers or magazines.
Don't shop from catalogs.
Go to the library and borrow books, don't buy them.
Bring your own bags to the market.
Never order food from any restaurant that puts menus on your doorstep.
Use an old aluminum boy scout canteen for water.
Don't lease cars.

By being a CSOB, you become green in the process.
