The Water Bottle Trend Never Ends

October is Buy Nothing New Month. I like to participate because it makes me mindful of my consumption. Day 10 today and the only thing I have bought that is not food or medicines are some 1.5V batteries for the little keychain torches I got at the op shop. #BuyNothingNew #reduceconsumption

I agree that profit motive is extremely problematic when it comes to climate change issues.

Also true, if we the consumers stop our endless, addictive consumption of every little thing that tickles our fancy, including pizza, the corporations will have to pivot. And honestly, they won't matter very much. Because a broke corporation is not doing much of anything.

I want corporations strictly regulated for the benefit of the planet and all the living things on the planet. Getting voters to insist on strict corporate regulation is every bit as hard as getting people to slow their consumption.

We need to push hard on all fronts, including the political front to change laws and the personal behavior front, which means changing our own behavior with a smile and a swagger such that others follow our lead.

Lordy but I've had a lot of marketing sms messages today about black friday sales. I keep a list of who sends me messages like these and then avoid spending any money at all with them. #MarketingSux #MakeMarketingIllegal #ReduceConsumption

Part of the reason they got rid of #KevinRudd was he did something #Americans are still unable to get done…

Insulate homes.
