Planet Sustainability

Inspired by The Story of Stuff

Go read the papers and what the Greenies/environmentalists are saying, our planet is all going to shit. Why? Because we're over consuming and living beyond our means. I guess that's true. I mean I buy all this stuff I don't really need, just feels nice to have them. For instance, I got 4 guitars, do I really need 4? Not really, Seeing I'm not that good in the first place. And shoes, I got so many pairs. Do I really need that many? Not really.

So here's what I say to myself, stop buying crap!!!! I say that to myself a lot, but still I do. buy lots of crap. Well, I'll try to stop now. Cos every time I buy more crap it makes me feel even crappier, than before. Well, it's alright if stuff make me happy. But it don't it seriously don't, so I'll stop buying stuff, make do with what I have, and only buy what I need. I'd wear my clothes till it wears out, just get one or 2 nice things after this lot can't be used. I'm sick of having stuff.

So here's the thing, we need to change our culture of stuff. Have less stuff, you'll be happier. You do not 60 shirts and say to yourself, I have nothing to wear. Have 10 nice shirts, and be happy. I'll stop buying now. Because I do not need it. If there is an empty slot in the cupboard, or an empty space on my shelf, it needs not be filled with junk. I hope the amount of stuff I have gets less, and the amount of life I experience increases.
