I went to this museum, that was a house of an engineer built the 1870's. He had a windmill, that powered a lathe, mill, as well as, fans throughout his house. I have also been to a community that had an all mnemonic tool shop.

I like the story because it is a good practical example. I don't believe in not using electricity, but saving it for important things is smart. I have a whole list of everyday products that use manual power. Some of them are expensive, but they could be nice to have access to.
