Well you said that carrots are healthier than aluminum, wood, or plastic. the metal pipes you buy in stores have steel bowls, and i dont know who the hell would ever smoke with a plastic bowl! when i smoke bowls, its with my glass and thats healthier than inhaleing any burnt vegitable. I've also made this addition to my bowl, its pretty neat. its pretty much just a homemade bong, but where the bowl goes, theres just a tube. that tube fits perfectly into the mouthpeice of my glass bowl. so you get the healthyness of the glass, but you aslo get the filtered, cooled down smoke.

Apart from that, my favortie thing to smoke with is joints. its fun rolling them too. after a you've been rolling for a while, it really becomes a hobby. and its even funner to burn them. its almost like a ration.. you break up the ammount you want to smoke, you roll it, you smoke it, and then your set. that leaves no evidence either.
I'm with you on the conservation, rainman. I mean, I'm not as good at conserving as you are, but I've been smoking off of the same eighth for the past month or more. and when i first started smoking, it took me about 2 and a half months to finish my first eighth. I definitly have been conserving more now than i have in the past. it used to be an eighth every 4 or 5 days, but i've really cut back. I still smoke every day alomst, but its just a small bowl pack or a skinny joint.
