envious.

I was reading about a woman, who had adopted a no-impact lifestyle with her husband for a year and this is what she said in retrospect:

“What I realized was that so many of my rituals were so bad for me (my health), for us (our bank account and all the family time lost to my scurrying off to shop), and for the environment. What I learned from No Impact was that there is a steep cost to supporting all your stuff. To a life devoted to getting and having. In my days of high consumption, I'd been searching for something. It turned out that it was right in my own home.”

You can read the whole article here.

We’ve heard it said many times, that simplicity is important, but here it is in actuality. I’m incredibly envious. Such a life has the ability to recognise the connection that ought to with people, with the stuff in our trolley, the stuff our houses are made of, the stuff in the garden. That is truly inspiring simplicity.

Who wants in?
