As I read through all the ‘categories,’ all began to make sense. It’s very helpful to have these ideas brought together like this, and even provides hope. I’ve always felt uncomfortable about ‘consumerism’ but have struggled to escape it. Here’s to the Simplicity Institute! Thanks.
Wonderfully concise introduction. Thanks very much!
I read this document from front to cover over my morning coffee. Inspiring stuff, thanks very much. So much food for thought. Will send on to others.
Keep up the good work, and look forward to reading comments.
Thanks
I was linked here through Growthbusters. I’m interested to read the articles. I’ve been keeping an eye on the front-range eco-village project. Sounds similar.
Looking forward to reading your work.
