consumerism – the power of less

8 Jan

As Vlad said in my guest post keeping your reader’s attention – why less is more, if you lose your reader’s attention you lose your argument. Less is more in the art of green living too!

The whole green change movement is confusing and overwhelming for many but it can be solved by implementing three simple rules:

  1. make a pact to consume less
  2. educate yourself on products & sustainable lifestyle
  3. repeat rules 1 & 2

That’s right. It’s a circle. Keep educating yourself and challenging yourself to consume less and buy smarter. Every week try to reduce consumption in various areas of your life. Start making conscious, deliberate choices. Celebrate and share them with your friends, family, coworkers, neighbours and peers.

Next weeks will revisit an old concept Reduce, the first of the 3Rs where we will discuss ways we can all reduce, why it is so important and the quickest things we can do to make an impact.

That’s it. I’m leaving you to ponder what choices you can make. Share them with me on twitter or make a comment on the blog.
