We live in a society that encourages consumption

[nadinbrzezinski]

we are going over our stuff. There are reasons why we have that much stuff, but we are going through it. And we are also donating a lot of stuff (mostly books for the moment) to Good will.

One of the things we are doing though is donating anything that actually happens to be in electronic form. No, I cannot ever again have that many books.

I just hope people benefit from that. But yes, we are in a society that encourages it... and we kind of realized it now, just how bad it is. Downsizing can be fun though, and we need to do it. Such is life, to be honest.

There's probably a Freecycle group near you.

4. Our economy is based on Consumption. We were buy ing

all this stuff from all these other countries.

OOOOOOPs they fired all their customers. Middle
America got fired . We cannot buy things.

Crash bam. Those Poorly managed trade deals really
screwed up the works.

Outsource all the jobs. No customers. Anyone
surprised we are in a Global Economic Tizzy.
