Live Simply So Others May Simply Live

All around us the world seems to be descending into chaos. Global warming and increasing extinctions, largely ignored environmental laws, financial disasters, war, terrorism, and the rhetoric of fear, and on and on. What can we do? We can avoid despair and apathy and learn to live a simpler life while supporting important causes.

A few years ago I participated in a simplicity study group at work. We discussed ways in which we can live richer lives with meaning and conviction, which can lead to living sustainably. This concept is nothing new. Socrates said “How many things are there which I do not want.” Again in 1854 the author Henry David Thoreau said it in Walden- “simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!”

Our society has become a consumer-driven machine that steals the resources of other nations and even our own to feed our addiction to stuff. Examples of these changes according to 2004 statistics: in the last 50 years, the average home size has gone from 1,100 square feet to 2,300 square feet while our family size has reduced drastically. Personal spending has tripled from $6,800 a year to $24,000 a year (adjusted for inflation). And, we have added a full month to our annual work hours!

What can we do? Learn the facts then make choices based on whether it has a beneficial or negative effect on the Earth and to the people and critters that share this planet with us. Examples of choices include--buy local, organic food, buy recycled and recycle, buy in bulk, buy items such as shampoo without petroleum products, reduce your use of paper products, use cloth grocery bags, eat lower on the food chain, eat organic eggs and meat, drive less, reduce catalogs, start a simplicity group, and support local campaigns working to give us livable cities and intact wildlife habitat.

I know that I alone cannot save the Earth. I also know that my actions will make a difference and my life will be lived fully while supporting a healthy Earth for all. Each of us is intimately connected to the other all across the Earth and to the air, and water, soil and critters. Together we can have a positive impact that will sustain our world. Join me on this journey and-

Be content with what you have, rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. Lao Tzu

THIS IS REAL. I REPEAT, THIS IS REAL. The black mirror is real, the black mirror is really powerful, effective and 100% reliable. My name is Walter Brian, I want to thank Dada Magical for giving his black mirror to me. Since he gave me his black mirror, I became rich, successful, protected, informed and powerful. I was browsing through the internet one day when I saw multiple testimonies on how Dada Magical has helped so many people with his black mirror. I thought it was a joke at first but I gave it a try and contacted him. He sold the black mirror to me and told me how to use it and all that I need to do. I followed the instructions just as he told me and to my greatest surprise, it worked just as he told me. The black mirror is still working for me. The mirror also brings good luck, blessings and information. Contact Dada Magical now on his email; Dadablackmirrors@gma il.com and he will help you also with the black mirror just the same way he helped me. Thank you Great Dada Magical.

BITCOIN RECOVERY IS REAL!!!

( MorrisGray830 At gmail Dot Com, is the man for the job )
This man is dedicated to his work and you can trust him more than yourself. I contacted him a year and a half Ago and he didn't succeed. when i got ripped of $491,000 worth of bitcoins by scammers, I tried several recovery programs with no success too. I kept on. And now after so much time Mr Morris Gray contacted me with a success, and the reward he took was small because obviously he is doing this because he wants to help idiots like me who fell for crypto scam, and love his job. Of course he could have taken all the coins and not tell me , I was not syncing this wallet for a year, but he didn't.
He is the MAN guys , He is! If you have been a victim of crypto scam before you can trust Morris Gray 10000000%. I thought there were no such good genuine guys anymore on earth, but Mr Morris Gray brought my trust to humanity again. GOD bless you sir...you can reach him via ( MORRIS GRAY 830 at Gmaill dot com ) or Whatsapp +1 (607)698-0239...
