LAWS OF LIVING A SIMPLE LIFE

One of the ways to get more in touch with Planet Earth is to simplify your life. Simplifying actually eliminates over-consumption of goods, which in turn, saves valuable resources, and slows the leeching of poisons into the environment. Simplifying creates a feeling of "lightness" and creates more time to spend on things you really want to do. Simplifying creates more time, because resposibility of "stuff" is time-consuming.

LAWS OF LIVING A SIMPLE LIFE
