how would this change things?





how would it be if we, as a society, guided ourselves not only by economic gain and economic growth, but also by this principle? how much would that change things? a lot, i believe.

as individuals, when we buy things, it is tempting to want to get them for the cheapest price; it is tempting to want to get more stuff: the stuff that everyone else has, that's in fashion, that the advertising industry tells us we need, always more and more; but maybe we can take a moment and look beyond that temptation; maybe we can think about this little piece of advice below and what it might actually mean for us and our families.
