liberal jerk off, yuppy scum. Nice apartment. I wish I had a fraction of the stuff this guilt stricken white boy had, even after he "gave up" his wasteful ways.

A common argument against conscious consumption is the need to support our economy. Unfortunately our consumption is excessive and a movement towards conscious consumption will have an economic impact, but there is also an opportunity to direct investment and jobs towards infrastructure, community planning, and renewable energy.

You go NIM! Your blog has inspired me. I'm happy to post your You Tube and spread the message. Reading the book Affluenza, and also seeing The Story of Stuff has also changed my thoughts on consumption tremendously.
Most of all- - - my family is happier when we are being our crunchiest.

We've just spent some time in the poor rural communities of KwaZulu Natal in South Africa, and what struck me the most is how happy the people are, in spite of not having the "stuff" that we have.
Don't get me wrong, their life is hard. For example, they have to walk 3-12km's just to fetch (drinking) water. Who wants to do that?
But their community spirit is fantastic, and they really watch out for each other. Their happiness/joy was an eye-opener. My question is, "Who is poorer?"

I experienced the same thing in The Gambia, West Africa.
So many smiles, in spite of what we consider brutal hardships, like sleeping 5 to a bed.
In the end, it seems to be that depending on one another and working together to sustain ourselves is what makes a happy community.
Exactly what you're talking about, Colin! Thanks for being the voice for all of us. And for inspiring conversation. It works.
