What if we had everything and needed nothing else? Today (29th november: international) is Buy Nothing Day. Realizing that you actually have way too much stuff than needed to keep your life running…
Watch the beautiful video here on the ‘good consumer’.
(or read Benjamin Barber’s ‘Consumed’ bestseller – I’m not kidding, you HAVE to consume, or at least buy it…)
Fortunately, the running part of life won’t be associated so soon with overconsumption. I don’t have to feel guilty… I am addicted.
Talking about current and new patterns of wealth is nothing new. Read this inspiring book by Andrew Simms (policy director of New Economics Foundation): Do Good Lives Have to Cost the Earth? (a book that already answers its head question on the first page).
If I could make an exception of buying something, then it would be this state-of-art BMW Gina model… gorgeous!
