thank you for sharing the video, I will watch it soon (:

I do agree that "we" need to adopt other lifestyle and consume less, because we need less.. we , as a few individuals, is totally different than " we" as a whole culture that was built to consume, built in this way so few can make enormous profit and it's never enough for them.. what I'm trying to say that is not always an individual choice, because the whole culture, the norms in this society, the individuals behaviors were directed to the idea of "get more" , buy more, be more and the idea of race and competition !!!

@Shaghaf I totally agree that it is not often an conscious individual choice. This is where information comes into play. In Seattle years ago a movement started (about the time this video went out) called Voluntary Simplicity. A lot of people signed on and the movement grew. The founders decided to go national and held a convention in LA (their symbol was a hearse with a luggage rack). They didn't expect much of a turn out being in LA but they had to close the doors at 700 people and there was still a line waiting to get in. I think people hunger for this. I just talked to my daughter (who lives in the LA area) and got her interested in the tiny homes movement. The Youtube channel has tons of videos showing some amazing homes here and even internationally. People do want to downsize and downscale. Life has gotten too complex and stressful. Living where I do has really brought that idea home.

Yes it's so true and so real, yet most people are not able to see it ):
