Ok.. you know I am compacting. Well last night I attended a "workshop" on Sustainable living with a budget. It was a rather interesting topic and frankly, that is what drew me. I had no idea what it meant. Sustainable living is a very interesting concept. Like is there another kind of living?
The young woman teaching the workshop was uniquely experienced in some things that really were worth sharing. I will talk more about this in later posts. However one of the most significant parts was how she began the workshop. She showed the video that I had seen months ago. If you have not seen this... go now and see the video at...... http://www.storyofstuff.com/ . It is like the entire year of college economics in 20 minutes. But it will also make you stop and think about where you fit into the equation. We have become a society of consumers. We consume and we do it well. There are some very scary statistics about how as we as Americans consume more than our share of the earth's resources.
If you see the video and you don't like the truth of it.... decide to be an agent of change. What are you going to do differently?
