Reflection

Consider the evidence of Affluenza that you see around you.

Do you see it in yourself? Can you take action to combat Affluenza?

I think its hard to miss. Its all around us, we are bombarded with this stuff at home, in the car, on the way to work, etc. The message is simple and clear "you need bigger, better and more of it."

I try to lead a simplistic life. if it doesnt have a purpose in my life at the time i see it, i dont need it. Sure I am not perfect and have fallen for a better computer, the phone with more features, but I think because they offer me the services I have, its justified.

Sure you can take action against Affluenza. you just need to be aware of it. When looking at the things you see and wonder if you should buy them, ask yourself ; will this product help my life? Do I already have products like this that do the same thing, that are just a bit outdated? How long will this product last? From a green living perspective, you can ask yourself, where sis this product come from, and where will it go when i no longer want it.
