Tell me about simplifying one's lifestyle and living more deliberately and sustainably. |

Truths are material, like vegetables and weeds; as to whether vegetable or weed, the decision lies in me.

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama
for sustainable living to work, some basic concepts should be understood, for example... |

What I really like about making my lifestyle more sustainable is how these sort of miniature ecologies naturally fall into sync with each other in your household and your social and economic networks. The essence of simply living for me is just paying attention to what's coming into your household and what's going out, with an eye toward minimizing expenditures (of time, money and energy) and streamlining your activities until a rhythm emerges by which much of your life seems to take care of itself (is self-sustaining) in a joyful fashion. |

Um...wow. Yeah. Very well put. |

That's something that has occurred to me. I can't help but wonder if all this 'convenience' food, etc. is in fact a net loss in terms of time/money. |

check out food not bombs for the ultimate "freeganism". |

I have now (with a little clarification from Wikipedia). Interesting. I've heard of people who do that, going around reclaiming discarded food. I can see how some people (many, actually) might be repelled or disgusted by the thought, but it's actually quite ingenious. |

It's ingenious for middle-upper class white kids to pretend to be homeless and eat garbage and dirty shrubbery under the guise of philosophical relevance? I would disagree. Ingenious is having a vision, getting a degree and actually contributing something to society. |

You're still wallowing in trash for that extra world-savory effect. Where I come from, there are plenty of professional private non-profit organizations that regularly collect all the unsold food from supermarkets etc. to give them to the poor. They do this using cars. This works perfectly fine, without having to invade somebody's property. It's 50 times more effective than a bunch of teenagers pulling old bagels out of a trash bag. I will still say that these are probably good-meaning well-intentioned individuals. But humanitarian effort is much more efficiently realized with the right amount of money. Savaging dumpsters isn't really gonna help as much as developing pesticide, medicine or whatever, i.e. being productive or getting rich and donating the money. |

Serkat, could you speak at some length in the direction of my garden? Please just try to spread it evenly. |

Yeah, except they're teenagers with no work experience or qualification and mostly communists and anarchists which translates to absolute inefficiency. They're not "professionals", they go around town bugging shop owners, trespassing and stealing and carrying bags of old bread. They serve vegan and vegetarian food which is absolutely fail, considering the laughable nutritional value of shrubbery and bunny food to poor people. I'm talking about actual companies that have mutual agreements with other companies and run ads on TV. They own actual housing and kitchens and don't serve the same ol' stew everyday. And they serve fucking dead animals which is win. |
