It's those other uber consumers and packrats that are the problem ...)RGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02017190779860810318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-76162392862008054932011-08-16T02:27:48.824+01:002011-08-16T02:27:48.824+01:00This looks like a wonderful book.

This a huge part of the climate crisis without a doubt. I can understand the necessities but not all the junk. Humans sure are a strange breed.Wild_Billhttp://www.wildramblings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-45571229511350409782011-08-16T01:08:47.886+01:002011-08-16T01:08:47.886+01:00Sounds like a good book - good to see some optimis...Sounds like a good book - good to see some optimism around the subject (no point being totally without hope, otherwise people will just give up and not give a toss).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-85873439916206304502011-08-15T23:05:18.393+01:002011-08-15T23:05:18.393+01:00I always prided myself in being clutter-free, owni...I always prided myself in being clutter-free, owning only the barest of necessities. But it turns out that this was possible because I never stayed in one place long enough to accumulate "stuff." Once my life became settled, "stuff" began to accumulate. I've had to make a conscious decision to keep this from happening. Fortunately, Japan has very thorough recycling laws, and little goes to waste.dosankodebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357411708254011194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-20196518816030749962011-08-15T19:16:35.582+01:002011-08-15T19:16:35.582+01:00I am changing my mind about stuff as I get older, ...I am changing my mind about stuff as I get older, Juliet. I used to like collecting things and often bought stuff when I was out and about. Now I look towards getting rid of it - I have quite stopped buying anything except books - and those I just cannot resist.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.com
