Living More Simply

I made this video for a contest at school. It's about the simple changes I'm making in my life to live more simply, resist consumerism, etc. Song is "World" by Five for Fighting.

While I applaud the steps you are taking, I found your approach incredibly complex and time consuming. Most people will be really turned off by the idea of reading all their food labels, rummaging through thrift stores, making their own things, and generally equate all of this with a either a lower standard of living and/or over-obsessiveness. This is coming from someone who is also a minimalist/anti-consumerist/or­ganic-food-eating, bicycle-commuter. I think there are better ways to pitch it 8)

Reduce, reuse, recycle--good plan! We have a simple food rule we follow. If a food has more than three simple ingredients we don't buy it, we make it ourselves. We mostly buy one ingredient foods like rice, quinoa, dried beans, organic vegetables. The less processing the better. Good video!

Superb video! I hope you won the contest. The song fit perfectly too. We do a lot of the things you do--recycle everything, burn paper in the wood stove, try to reuse and reduce, drive less, and cut electricity use. Keep up the good work and thanks for posting.
